Holley 1909, 1-barrel Carburetor Rebuild Kits and Parts

The Holley 1909 is a 1 barrel downdraft carburetor. Unlike most carburetors, the inlet needle seat is cast as part of the carburetor top, which means the needle is replaced, but not the seat. The needle has a Viton tip. The float is a Nitrophyl Cellouse type of float  and they can absorb fuel over time and should be replaced at rebuild time. Unfortunately the float is no longer produced, so when you do come across a new float hang on to it. The float pin is made of plastic and great care should be taken not to break it. The accelerator pump has a replaceable cup, which is what you will find in the carburetor kit. While the 1909 carburetor kit will cover most 1909 carburetors, there are a few still in operation that use a different cup size. In fact there are three different sizes. Along with the carburetor kit, we do carry the only other cup size that is still available. The Holley 1909 also uses a vacuum operated power piston design.
