Holley four barrel carb exchanged for same list # NO!

Damage to the carburetor meaning what? If you get dirt in the carb it won't work properly. If you let gas sit in it over a long period of time it will gunk up the jets and not run properly. If you sucked up dirty fuel you didn't ruin it but it needs

to be removed and cleaned out. You need in line filters, clear ones so you can see what's up.

Does the gas smell funny? Gas goes bad, sooner than you think. Always use sta-bil in engines that sit.
