Hello everyone, i have a few problems and i hope somebody can help me. Well first i installed a 4 barrel holley carb on my mustang but its been sitting for like a month and a half. im having problems starting the car. The car starts if the battery is completely charged. it turns off and it like the battery is dead, it cranks over slowly. i recharge the battery and starts again. Lately its been harder to turn on even with the battery charged. I dont know if its the started that does not work of tif the starter solenoid is to blame.


I also included an attachment which is a picture of my carb but its the the right side and there is an opening sucks in air. I dont know if its suppose to be plugged or does it run somewhere.

I really appreciate the help.
