say hello to my leaky little friend.


see the shiny metal mesh area to the left of the brass color disc? That is where gas from a regular gas station ate away old diaphragm material on my Holley 4144-1 (middle carb of the Mopar Holley Six Pack installed on Road Runner and Super Bees)

So, if you're leaking gas from the front right bottom side of your Holley, and it's puddling on your intake... this is probably the culprit

  1. Yup, good ole ethanol gasoline. What is it out there in California now, E-85?

    1. that is a specific pump only at a few gas stations. I believe I heard that regular gas now has 10% corn ethanol just to subsidize corn farmers, to raise the price of a bushel of corn, and to lower our reliance on oil, by 10%
