1985 Carb problems

[Murdoc 201]

I'm right there with you! Got a 4 B Holley that came with the Bronco.  Have always had issues with the electric choke.  It ran great after a rebuild, has for 2 years, but after taking it to a mech for $150.00. Got it back with more issues.  Now I may be getting 2 mpg, and it won't idle.  They told me to pop the top and clean the back jet. Worked good for  a couple weeks, but now it's back to one foot on the gas, one foot on the break. They told me dirt got into it, but before they touched it, there was never an issue with dirt or crude . The fuel filter has always done its job.

 Now I'm considering ANY THING but a Holley.
