Hey everyone having issues on my carb it’s a 94 Holley carb Ford stamped on the body Im having issue keeping it to idle with the choke fully open if I close the choke half ways it turns on a higher idle once I start to open the choke more it dies I waited till the engine was warm and same thing. I opened and bought a rebuild kit because I was having that issue and something no carb expert by any means any advice will help thank you in advance

Sounds like a vacuum leak

Could be the vacuum leak as mentioned above or blockage in the idle circuit of the Carb. Did you rebuild the Carb.? pay close attention to the air circuits in the Carb base. Daytona makes a good rebuilding kit. search for them on the web.
