[CM] Holly carb "Boil Outs"

[CM] Holly carb "Boil Outs"

Patrick,

Can you tell me what "boiling it out" means? If its on the Holley web site,
I missed it.

Ive heard it from several sources but never seen anywhere a) how it do it,
b) why you should/what it achieves ....other than there seems to be a
general consensus that its necessary.

Ive had ongoing problems with the Holly on my car, and after correction of a
number of problems its much still better, but still not completely
happy...it hasn't been "boiled out".

Grateful for any insights

Cheers

Wal Marshall
