This is the name for a series of carburetors made by Holley. The carburetor blends the air/ fuel mixture

It's called a "double pumper" because it has two accelerator pumps, which spray a shot of fuel into the engine when you step on the gas

mk, I think ik what your talking about

This number 4150 is a common variant

Don't be fooled, they're quite simple in construction

is that brass flap the throttle body, or is it something else?

the square one on top I mean

It's something called a "choke butterfly"

mk

This cuts off some airflow to help the engine warm up when its cold

I took mine out though

gotcha

y would you remove it though?

They can be unreliable

ok

I find it's easier and more fun to hold the engine at part throttle for a few seconds after it starts up and then let it idle

Not much, we're only talking like 1500 rpm

gotcha

I am guessing that is not something a lot of modern cars have?

They haven't used carburetors on cars in over 30 years

The people today who still use them are mainly relegated to classics

huh, thats something new

for me I should say

It's all computer controlled now

can you suggest a good first car to learn to work on? I can't really do anything on my parent's cars, and I need to buy one for myself soon anyways.

Late 90s honda civic

Gotcha. Do you know if those are similar to early 2000s honda accords? The little exp I have is in an 04 accord

Not sure. Only person I knew who had one was my ex girlfriend, and she broke up with me before I could get handsy with it

Her loss. I'd have made that thing ride and run like it was new

Im sure. They are'nt bad cars if you know how to take care of them

The trick with Hondas is you have to use OEM parts for everything

OEM?

Original equipment manufacturer

In other words, use honda brand parts and fluids on a honda

Oh, that makes sense.

anyways, i gtg. thx for teaching me some stuff!

No worries bro, be easy

Any tips for locating leaks on my truck it has some kind of oil look greasy feeling fluid thats on only the left side of the engine and i dont think its oil because ive checked all the lines and gaskets there is a lit bit of a leak around the oil pan gasket but not enough for it to leak on tge ground

@awesomeauthier1326 Timing/valve cover gasket leak most likely.

If you have a maintenance manual for the truck look up it's replacement process and you should see where it is. Then you should be able to follow the leak to the same location to verify it is the source.

Cheap fix if it is so, but your car will be down for 24 hours or so until the gasket maker is done setting.

...

Still only a guess, not enough info in your post to be super accurate.

Um i check the valve cover and its not leaking

Heres a pic of where it drips down from
