Allan,
If it's boiling over Holly makes a "heat proof" spacer that goes under the
carb. If that is truly what is happening, the spacer will solve the
problem. A few yrs. ago on the list someone else reported symptoms similar to
yours.....that is stalling while the car was running. This might not be the
boiling issue. I would start by searching the archives

to see what you find. I'm sure someone else can chime in on this.

I m sorting my stock MK1a Tiger, trying to get it back on the streets
after ~
3 decades of storage in a barn.
Current focus is on carburation.
It has a remanufactured Holly to replace a worn-out Motorcraft 2-bbl.
Recently it was running pretty good but after I parked it to eat supper at
a
restaurant recently, upon return to the car it would not start. It
looked flooded; I looked down the throat and saw aboutS a half inch of
bubbly
gas in the
bottom of the carb.
Subsequently shop guys replaced the choke spring mechanism, pronounced the
carb to be cured but 6 miles later in Atlanta traffic it
died with the same symptoms. It acted as it was out of gas then died and
would not re-start.
I pushed it to the side of the road, popped the hood and looked down the
carb--another a pool of bubbly gas down there
and no way it would start.
About 90 minutes later the tow truck arrived and the Sunbeam ranked so I
drove
it onto the flatbed truck.
Does this make any sense to any one?
Is there any way the coil could overheat and cause this--or do I have a
POS
carb?
Allan
