The Vacuum Secondary Holley 850 CFM Carb that came with the ZZ502 Chevy engine was model number 0-80531.  It came with  #78 Primary Jets, a 30CC accelerator pump with 0.035 Squirters, a 6.5 Power Valve with Power Valve Fuel Passages of.0.045 inch diameter. The Secondary came with #82 Jets, a 6.5 Power Valve with 0.049 inch diameter Power Valve fuel passages and a Pink spring on the secondary opening diaphragm.

Out of the box the car was obviously running rich at idle and when cruising. It also had a Bog when trying to accelerate.  It was fowling plugs so the Primary Jets were decreased to  #76.  Plug fowling was eliminated but there was the same slight Bog when the accelerator was rapidly depressed.  It appeared the mixture needed to be richened and the following table presents the various modifications tried over a 6 month period:

The above tests were made with the various Secondary Diaphragm springs and the Special Adjustable Secondary diaphragm purchased.  The special diaphragm housing incorporates a needle valve so the rate of vacuum applied to the diaphragm can be controlled.  It was not significantly better than using a stiffer spring which can eliminate the Bog (a drop in RPM upon opening the secondary quickly) but created a Hesitation (the Secondaires open so slowly you don't get a Bog but you can feel the slow opening).  The springs were ranked as to stiffness by using a postage scale and measuring the force at two points.  The following table shows the force when fully opened and when the secondary butterflies are closed:

Have a Welder?   Improve Weld Starts and Have Shielding Gas Cylinder Last at Least Twice as Long! 

Note: Our Patented GSS is Not Available in "Stores"

A home shop fabricator in Georgia with a Miller ^TM 175 amp welder purchased a 50 foot Gas Saver System ( GSS^TM ) so he could use a larger cylinder and mount it on the wall of his shop.  He wrote:

"The system works great.  Thanks for the professional service and a great product."   Click To See His Home Shop

A Professional Street Rod Builder Had This to Say:

With their standard MIG welder gas delivery hose the peak shielding flow at weld start was measured at 150 CFH. That caused air to be sucked into the gas stream causing poor weld starts.  With the GSS replacing their existing hose, the peak flow surge at the weld start was about 50 CFH.  Total gas use was cut in half.

Kyle Bond, President, quickly saw the improvement achieved in weld start quality as a significant advantage!   Kyle, an excellent automotive painter, was well aware of the effects of gas surge caused by pressure buildup in the delivery hose when stopped.  He has to deal with the visible effects in the air hose lines on the spray gun in his paint booth!  The paint surge is visible and creates defects unless the gun is triggered off the part being painted!  We can’t do that with our MIG gun!

(Note: Thanks to those "Car Crazy" folks who have purchased the Gas Saver System and commented on the improved starts and reduced gas usage they have achieved.  Many purchased our 6 foot prefitted GSS, Part Number WAT FB6.  We also added a "NEW" 3 foot prefitted GSS, Part Number WAT-FB3, , .

Improve MIG (GMAW) weld start quality while cutting shielding gas usage by 25%, 50% or more!!  Simply replace the shielding gas delivery hose from cylinder or pipeline gas supply to the wire feeder with our inexpensive, Patented**  hose system  Click Here.
