Hopefully one of you can help me with my issue. Unfortunately I know just enough to get myself in more trouble then I am already in...
Motor is a BBC with what appears to be a Holley 650. Had the carb rebuilt and reinstalled this weekend. Boat will fire up and run smoothly at 800rpms and up, when I pull the throttle back to neutral it starves for fuel and dies, it wont restart unless I put the hand throttle half way down, it fires, runs good again until I go to neutral then the it dies.
Any ideas? Would the fuel pump have any thing to do with this? I am definitely getting gas to the carb because the fittings were a little loose when I reinstalled the carb and fuel was dumping onto the manifold when the key was turned to the on position.
I would like to try and fix it myself and not rely on a shop if I can, mostly because I want to learn more about it...
