Afternoon
first off its a '73 Larson with a 888 and a holly 2 barrel carb that i'm having trouble with.
I have been trying to get this motor to run good for awhile. I rebuilt the carb and found it was full of dried varnish. after taking it all apart and soaking in carb cleaner for a day and rebuilding I then set the float according to holly and is level when looking thru the inspection plug. When I get it to run its gotta be 1/4 throttle or more to even stay running, looking down the carb it is pouring fuel into the intake and after running it the plugs show the rich condition. I set the carb up to base according to the instructions and i'm having a heck of a time. Any suggestions would be very welcome.

ps - I thought I had it ironed out today when it idled near perfect and was able to adjust idle speed but then it died and wouldnt restart- found the fuel tank was bone dry :facepalm:
