Currently down due to a bad “built in” regulator. I just ordered an Aeromotive adjustable regulator and will be voiding the Holley. Apparently, this is a common issue and Holley will sometimes ship out a new diaphragm, sometimes a diaphragm and cover, whatever is on hand.
Cover is held in place with 4 screws using a 3/32” Allen wrench...yes, 3/32” and lots of Loctite. Very common to strip the tiny little heads. The mouthpiece on the Holley forums suggests the problem is because people aren’t removing the throttle body from the engine before removing the FPR cover. What? If I can easily reach the fastener, how does moving it to the bench overcome the design flaw?
Lately, the response from Holley will suggest that you could buy their filter/regulator combo and do away with the built in regulator. Well, the same exact diaphragm is in this remote unit, but sales are good!
For all the things I’m impressed with on the Sniper, issues like this and how they are handled overwhelm them.
