Ya think? I took the bowl off this Holley G today and found some wildlife habitat. They do get into the darndest places.

I dunno, Steve. The gasoline capacity of the bowl may be diminished, but it should work OK! :-)

That's not that new-fangled float material is it?

You also have a vise jaw blocking the outlet! That will be a problem too.

OK..still thinking...how did that dirt dobber get in there?

The float needle should have kept him out....or was the float gone and needle gone and that little flying stinger went into the gasoline inlet elbow and built his dirt hovels in there...?

It was a lot easier than that. The drain valve was missing.

Thanks Steve, now there is no more drain on my brain about that wasp. :-)
