Holley Truck Avenger
Hey everyone,
I don't know if this has been an issue for anyone but me, but I thought that I would post it because of the frustration in getting it fixed. Back in 3-03, I purchased a brand new Holley Truck Avenger carb. It promised all sorts of performance in 4x4 situations. The carb does dig well, but the major problem I have had with it, is that it has a bad hesitation when you stomp the gas off of the line (really bad). I have read here and there, about others having this problem with this carb. But nothing ever seemed to be resolved with it. I spoke with Holley tech service a couple of months ago and they tried to make it seem like I was doing somthing wrong. After I pressed them, they sent me a new accelerator pump nozzel, this did not correct the problem. So I finaly contacted them again this week and told them that if they did not fix my problem that I wanted a full refund, and that I was returning to Edelbrock carbs for life! This is where it got interesting. They told me to send in the carb and they would upgrade it to the new version in which this problem has been fixed. I guess all along they new it was a defect with the carb, and they were just blowing smoke. I asked the guy if they were going to do a recal or something like that, and he said no. I guess if you want your $300.00 carb to work the way it is supposed to you have to take matters into your own hands. My carb is leaving tomorrow for the upgrade. If anyone is interested I will post, once returned, if this fixes the problem. Ltine |
