We are talking about the shiny silverish plating correct? Not the natural goldish color?

I worked for a carburetor shop for 4 years and came across this plating problem many, many times. It's not the alcohol in the fuel, it's Holley's poor quality control on the plating process. We had many brand new out of the box carburetors that did not work because the plating had chipped off and clogged the passages. If you get one where the plating actually stuck you probably won't have problems.
