I can’t get my Holley 94 to run well. I’ve messed with idle mix and throttle and it keeps popping and sounds like a pssss sound like a vacuum leak and exploring into that it sounds like it’s from inside the carb. Any tips on this? Still popping in 2nd gear and on pulls.

Hello, I have another forum going right now pertaining to updates on my 34 sedan that I’ve been slowly getting back on the road. I was sure the cooling system was going to be serviced at some points but it was going fine. Today after a short trip down the road and back I noticed there was water...

Can someone tell what the correct rebuild kit is for this pump I’m not sure what year it is. It goes on my 34 but I know it’s not the original 34 pump style. If anyone has seen my other forum, I finally got my new flex line for the input side of the pump but it goes is any way but straight and...

‘34 Spark confusion Alright I’m back again, I have loads of post on here pretty much chasing the same thing and for that I’m sorry but I’m adding another. I tinker on my 34 when I have time can’t get it to fire forget it’s there for a little then get back on it. Recently I started at my spark...

Chasing same issues again any ideas? ‘34 Hello all, I have a few other posts chasing the same issues that I’m about to go through again here maybe some will have some new ideas. I have a 1934 flatty sedan that I had running recently in the past with some backfiring. It still has a rebuilt...

Does anyone know of people that can rebuild a Holley 94 if I ship it to them? I did it once and now all the gaskets are weeping fuel and I am having backfiring. Bunch of people have suggested that maybe I am getting extra unmonitored fuel into the carb causing a backfire. So I’d like someone...

I’ve been having a lot of help lately and figured I’d go ahead and let y’all know what how it has been going. I reset my float it was not set properly and was letting too much gas in. With this I set my idle mixture screws by screwing them in until it slows and then half turn out. Also the bad...

My 34 has been running amazingly since getting it started. but now I want to move on to making sure it’s charging so I can drive a little farther and not worry about being stranded. Would i need the whole generator rebuilt or would I just need a new regulator? Here is a picture of what I think...

Good afternoon, I had a previous post of me chasing a no start issue. I finally got it to start after figuring a little order of operations: No throttle, quick full throttle out, catches on and starts, shove throttle back and play with pedal to keep it running. I am linking a video below for...

Alright guys! I got a 34 flathead with original 6 volt positive ground. I have a confusing issue, I’m having spark to my all my wires and my spark plugs. I pour gas down the carb but it will not fire over? Not even a sputter? Could this be low compression because it might not be turning after as...

I was able to get my dome distributor off my 34 flathead and out no problem without removing anything extra. Now I got the distributor back and can’t get it to line up properly to be able to mount it. I need some tips.

Could someone explain what the vacuum brake does on a 1934 Ford dome-style distributor? Could it cause starting issues if not set right?

Well, spring time is coming real soon. Starts warming up here in NC in mid March. I still have yet to get my 34 running. So my plan is to start from the beginning, send the distributor off to a known rebuilder, new condenser, new wires, and figure out how to check timing. Any suggestions on...

Mounting ‘Tubman’ condenser on dome distributor Hello everyone, just bought a condenser from Mr.Tubman and I was wondering if anyone has some tips on mounting the condenser on this type of distributor and mainly ones with the coils used on 34s the compact circle coils.

Help I’m Lost So, I just put on a freshly rebuilt Holley onto my 34 Ford (not correct carb for 34’s but was on the car when I inherited it) I am getting fuel to the carb and I can see it shoot out the jets. Now that’s all great but the engine is still not firing even after I have put on a...

Just curious what role does the spring and detent play in this carburetor? For example on this carb the spring and detent is behind the choke mechanism. Does this just help the mechanism rotate?

Hello everyone I have a no start issue and I believe the issue I am at now is the carb not feeding gas to the engine. I have a Holley 94 model 59 on my 1934 Ford and I’m not sure how to rebuild one of these since I am new to flat head engines. Is it better to send this off to get rebuilt or...

Tried starting my 1934 Ford for the first time since renewing spark plug wires, spark plugs, and distributor. Every time it turned over it became closer to starting. It would sputter and sound like it wanted to start but would stop and the starter would still be engaged. Checked spark and there...

Hello, I had a quick question about the distributor inner and outer caps. I recently changed the spark plug wires on my car and noticed when I got the inner and outer caps back on the distributor they didn't exactly line up. The outer caps have some small spaces around the caps and they are not...
