You will be pleased with the Sniper if you haven't already installed one. Fired my rig up for the first time yesterday after installing the Sniper along with new radiator, fan clutch, water pump, power steering pump and rebuilt steering box. Yes, had a lot going on when we turned the key for the first time since all this work. Totally different and improved driving experience with the Sniper. My rig was always a slow starter when it sat for an extended period as in a week or more. I had not fired the motor in over 3 months and it hit on the first turn of the key and ran like butter. Major upgrade IMO. Sounds like several are looking for the stock carb so will list my rebuilt unit I removed in the Classified section when I get a chance.After several attempts to order a carb with no reply, I ordered the Holley Sniper kit.
I had the same thing happen with mine. I am pretty sure there was debris getting into the needle valve so I installed a filter between the fuel pump and carb. Also make sure you have the wire that goes to the carb connected properly. You may need to pull the carb apart to check the needle valve.I am finally putting miles on my rig. It has a brand new gas tank, filter, hard and soft lines and fuel pump. Finished off with a trollhole carb and ethanol free gas.
Today, after a 15 min cruise and parked for 20 minutes, the motor was flooded. Took me putting six new plugs in it to barely get it home.
Upon inspection, my carburetor is just pouring gas into the intake. I have a video looking down into the carb after the truck runs for 30-60 seconds. Looks like you’re boiling a pot of water down in it.
@Trollhole need some assistance on this one.
Not the best photo attached below, but you can see smoke/vapor steaming out of the inboard side of carb.

Holley Sniper is looking real good right now.
