I have a Holley 1920 single barrel on my slant six. The bowl gasket failed, so I decided to rebuild the carb. I dipped all the metal of the carb including the metering block. Reassembled according to manual and pictures I took. Set the float level. I put it back on the car and only the accelerator pump circuit is working. I cannot get it to idle unless you pump the throttle or close the choke almost completely by hand. It creates enough vacuum to pull fuel directly through the accelerator pump. It seems the main circuit in the carb is not working. I pull the power valve out and there is plenty of fuel in the bowl. I have rebuilt it three times at this point with no change. I have a junk 1920 that I took apart to make sure the one on the car was built correctly. I don’t know that I want to spend $250 on a replacement, maybe go with a 1945 or a Carter. I have three other 1920's but they are all junk and are for California cars and mine is not.(different intake and exhaust manifold)

Have you tried blowing the main circuit out with compressed air? Also did you remove the idle screw before you dipped it? It might just have insoluble crud stuck in it.

Does your junk 1920 have any good parts you can swap over just to check with? Could something either be sticking, or just screwed in too tightly to move freely?
My personal experience with carbs is limited to ones that work. I’ve never rebuilt one before.

obvious question....while you had it apart..... did you spray cleaner through all the passages, and run some sort of small wires into all the passages?
second..... you got a new gasket under it?? are the nuts on it snug??
did you set the idle screws??

Sounds you have a serious blockage still. What did you soak the Carb in for the rebuild?
Toss anything Carter in the bin and run away. Carters were/are the worst things you could ever do to yourself or your car. Best alternative I could recommend is a Motocraft 2100 series.
