Well, its a Holley 650 HP custom built for my setup without the rear idle screws (flows 730). I mounted it with a 1/2 inch plastic carb spacer to give me some more room under the fuel line to the intake. I had it all set and drove it a few times then noticed the throttle was sticking when it returned to idle most of the time. If you blip it it normally came down. As some time went on it got worst. So, I put it in the garage and had some dinner. Came down a few hours later, started her up and it was fine, sat there
.... As it warmed up, the problem started to come back. So, I look around and checked a few things and did not see anything wrong. So, I figured, let me pull this thing off and take a closer look.. As I take off the four bolts and start to lift off the carb, one mounting ear falls off 

Now I'm totally upset... So, after a few hours of cool down (I'm italian) I start thinking about how I should approach this. The past year I have had some bumps in the road with carbs. So, after a few hours and talking to a buddy of mine (who by the way tries to talk me into selling it for an eddy), I called summit and ordered a new bullet throttle plate... Sigh, this better be the last time my hands touch this carb for a while.
Any of you guys ever see this happen??
