New Holley Sniper install, Fuel spraying from barrels (1 Viewer)

[brian az]

I just finished my Sniper install yesterday and I've got a lot of fuel spraying from the barrels. Video below. I'm planning to put together a post about the install, it wasn't too bad considering my wrenching skills aren't amazing. But, for now I want to solve this fuel spraying issue. Fuel is supplied via the RobbMc Power Surge. I have a fuel pressure guage and pressure is good...right a ~60 psi.

This video was taken right after a cold startup.

UPDATE: I showed this video to Holley tech support and they told me I need to send the unit back to them. Bummer.

There was another thread with this same issue and unit was also returned, IIRC ...

I saw that. And, if you search the Holley forum there are a few posts about it there, and few "me too" replies. Disappointing for sure . . . especially since it's prime wheeling weather in Phoenix right now.

Has anyone posted what the cause is ?

Not that I've found--just lots of speculation. The Holley tech said "something" was not seated properly.

I ordered it from Holley in December when they were having their sale. I had intended to get black, but it was backordered at the time--so, gold it is!

Their turn around is pretty quick. @GA Architect had his replacement unit in a pretty short amount of time. Please post what the issue turns out to be.

That's nice to hear. I just pulled the unit off this morning; should go out today.

UPDATE:

I sent the unit to Holly last week--they received it Friday morning. This morning, the tech I talked to last week emailed me himself to tell me, "The fuel rings in the unit were upside down. This has been corrected and the unit will be shipped back to you today or tomorrow." Hopefully I'll have it back for the weekend.
