Holley 2100 / 2110 (bugspray) in a 1200 cc / 40 hp

[swharris]

There was a guy in the swap at the Classic this last weekend. He had 3 and a SP manifold. I don't know if they were 200's or 300's. I think he wanted $150. I thought about making an offer but knew nothing about them and have enough projects.

I wish I could find a Holley Bugspray for $59.00 these days! My set up is entirely too close to the generator. Can I add a short base plate under the carb? Where can I find one?

hi every one .i ran and drag raced holley bug sprays in the 1970s this is what i found out to make them run . first off he did not have to cut the fan housing they made a adapter to move the carb for ward so the carb would not hit the fan housing .on 40hp motors . a 200 cfm holley bug spray works the best .the 300cfm carb is way to big for any street motor .i only used the 300cfm carb for racing . you have to lower the float using a 3/16 drill bit .the bug sprays don't like a lot of fuel pressure i ran 1lbs to 1 1/2 lbs of fuel pressure .i used 50 main jets on my 200 cfm holley carb . the bug spray carbs work best with a dizy set up for 12 to 14 degs intl. timing. all in by 2,8oo rpm a total of 32 degs timing bug sprays run best with out a vac .dizy . they do like pre heat to the manifold. back then they ate spark plugs lol the plugs did not last long back then i found that champion L82Y plugs lasted the best or L87Yplugs. don't run a open plenum type manifold that has a big hole . run a 1.1/4 " tube ram manifold .all so use a stack about 2 1/2" to 3" high to stop fuel stand off . with out a stack on a vw .it wants to make a fuel fog out of the top of the carb it can climb up to from 3" to 5" above the top of the carb at high RPM .all so guys back then did not run a acc.pump they dismantled the acc pump. i all ways ran mine on the lowest pump shot . i must say this . they are not the best carb to use .there are better carbs out there now a days . but if you love the old school look go for it holley sold a lot of them for $59.00 lol have fun. just my two cents take it or leave it spencerfvee

Tried this on a 36 hp. Couldn’t get the clearance I needed for the linkage. Carb linkage was right on top of the distributor wires 😞

wondering what happened to the story of this carb? i was looking into doing same thing..??

[johnwesley]

I am running lean with the stock jetting. Getting some lean surging and oil temps are high. I am stepping up from the 59 jet to a 62 and see what that does for me. I also pulled some timing out and the sp motor seems to like that as part throttle response is better

yup the acc pump setup was crap,I used some quadrajet seals & reworked the linkage & other stuff too, the felt packing is crap, thats where I put the green quadrajet seal, 2 of them I think with greessee between them& also polished the rod so it didnt eat up seals.
the 09 curve is hell with bugspray untill you recurve it.the vac dist may be best if you cant recurve the 09.

[johnwesley]

here is the 2110 on the engine. I dont have the vacuum tube hooked up yet in the pic. brand new engine and just getting it going.

I have a 2110 that has factory ported vacuum. Is works good with a svda. Adds 10 to the timing at 3000 rpm for a total of 40 advance

I ran the 200 bugspray setup one and VW's 009 for awhile and itran real good, getting squirter pump working right at 1st only prob, never used choke.

[mark tucker]

that will not give you ported timing signal, just manifold vac witch usualy is not what you want. so howzitrun?

[jwanders32]

I used a dremel tool and stone to cut out the bottom portion of the throttle arm. Because of the angle of the throttle cable, this was needed to allow the cable end to pivot and fully open the throttle plates.

[jwanders32]

This picture shows how I drilled the hole in the "common area" of the two chambers and met up with the hole that I drilled through the external port. I goofed and drilled an extra hole as you can see. No harm done.

[jwanders32]

A bit of a hack job, but at least it's hidden by the carb. Had to use a dremel cut off wheel and grinding stones for the internal baffles. Gave me just enough room with this larger aftermarket dog house shroud.

[mark tucker]

I saw one with 09, ran great.

[jwanders32]

Guess I'm breaking new ground. I'll post a picture of how I made the vacuum modification when I get back from vacation. When I pull the carb to put in the new jets, I can show pics of all the mods I had to make. Thanks for all the input.

Every engine i've seen with a Bugspray had a 019 or 010 distributor.

wouldn't that be fine for a SVDA? but not for a 40hp Vacuum only distributor I think
