C. OVERHAUL

1. INTRODUCTION

To properly overhaul the carburetor, it must be completely disassembled and all parts must be thoroughly cleaned. Then each part must be inspected for wear, deterioration, and damage, and all defective parts should be discarded and replaced with genuine Holley replacement parts. The carburetor must then be carefully rebuilt and accurately adjusted to insure the power, economy, and performance which has been built into every Holley carburetor. The following overhaul procedure is easily accomplished, using ordinary tools and a reasonable amount of care. Factory approved special carburetor tools are also available to facilitate overhaul and protect parts which could be damaged by ordinary tools. Use of these special tools is strongly recommended.
