Hi tenticles.
Yes, my suggestion is to bury the Holley very deep in its grave, so nobody else gets caught.

If at first you don't succeed, just call it Version 1.0 |

what sort of cam you running on 308? how is your idle set? One thing that used to really mess me up was that opening the primaries for idle used to expose transfer slot. close up primaries a little and crack secondaries slightly may help

Mate I had the same problem with the Holley so I opted for the Quadie and never looked back they are a far better carb and much more economical check out the ones on ebay full reco and a good price.

The carb is to big for the engine. Look at holleys web site and it shows a calculation for volume effincincy x what sort of engine it is x rpm max that kind of thing and it tells you what size carb you should have
