Just called Holley, the missing air bleed is definitely the problem. And of course I have to ship the carb back to them for repair, they have to be pressed in. I tried to get a new replacement carb but no deal. Now Im suspect that I'll lose other bleed screws. I've been running the carb for the last 5 months or so, not sure if the bleed was missing out of the box or whether it popped out somewhere along the way. Comforting to think the carb is falling apart and swallowing the pieces. Just thankful its small and brass.

Thanks again for the replies.
