Loose boosters in carb
Does anyone one have a fix for loose press-in boosters? I found all 4 loose. Carb is a Holley 4180.
What is the going cost to have this fixed, and who to send it to? Thanks Sean

Re: Loose boosters in carb
if they are not "too loose" you can try a little JB Weld to hold them in place--- otherwise most any of the REPUTABLE Holley rebuilders can fix that---they use a special 4 prong tool to stake them in place--- really they probabley need to be removed and machined flat (true) before they are staked so as to have a perfect mating surface!!!-- any RACE Carb guys in your area---??? no idea on cost tho

Re: Loose boosters in carb
Thanks for the replies. I am pulling my old carb out and will see how it performs. The carb with the loose boosters will go on the shelf for now.
