Introduction

This guide will teach you how to replace the gaskets in the Holley 4 barrel carburetor. The gaskets require replacement if the carburetor starts leaking gas or sucking air. You can tell when the gaskets require replacement when your car starts running rough. In order to complete this repair, you will need to purchase a rebuild kit for your specific carburetor. Be aware of the gas that could be released from the carburetor as you take it apart. This can be harmful to your skin and eyes, so make sure you take the carburetor apart in a well-ventilated room.
