This is a Holley 0-80443 850 CFM Marine Carburetor expertly modified and designed for large cubic inch marine engines where a mechanical secondary 4150 model 4BBL is required. The supercharger modifications were done by a leading supercharger shop with over 40 years of proven design experience in supercharger applications.

This carburetor is intended for use with draw-thru superchargers, and has a unique capability that allows its power valve to reference the intake manifold vacuum below the supercharger. This allows the power valve to operate as it should, based off intake manifold vacuum. A power valve provides further enrichment to the main metering system under load (low vacuum) conditions. Without this external referencing, the power valve would be "reading" the supercharger vacuum, which has no bearing on the engine load. During throttle up loading to get a boat on plane, there may be a significant vacuum under the carburetor due to the supercharger sucking in air, but in the intake manifold you may have low vacuum or slight boost, a condition that would signal a power valve to open and add fuel. Boost referencing will show the carburetor what the engine really needs from the power valve, based on load.
All Holley Marine Carburetors are designed to meet Coast Guard specifications. A marine carburetors fuel metering system is calibrated to compensate for unique engine loads found on boats.
