What rebuild kit do I need for the Holley on my 07 5.0GL-H? the numbers on the choke are 3885133, 75034 and 1426. I can't seem to find a Holley kit referencing those specific numbers.
Thanks for the help.

Others may have a refence library to assist but also the good folks at Leaders RPM (link) are very helpful and sell OEM stuff. Give them a call, I am sure they can help.

Scott, Nice listing :) However, I could not find the OPs in the listing nor on the Holley website which is also full of great info!

@nitrosteve:
The first PN 3885133 is the OEM’s part no. and not referenced in the Holley data. The 2nd number should be the Holley list no. but I cannot find it anywhere. The 3rd number is the date code which translates to May 22nd of 2006.
Here are a a couple of links that may help you:
  • Holley's finder’s guide with decoding the part nos. and a video link
  • PDF version of Scott’s list fm Holley (u can search PDFs as well) link

There are only two carb kits for a 2300 marine. They differ by the base gasket. There is either a 350 CFM or 500 CFM carb

Your 5.0 has the 500 CFM carb

My Volvo service Manuals don't show that number but it is for the 2002 motors. My other book doesn't have it either

I suggest contacting Holley and a Volvo Penta Dealer.
There are many 2300s on various VP motors, Jetting and Power Valve selection is all over the map, so the proper specs are important. Some Kits come with Power Valve(s), make sure it is the correct One. Holley Rebuild Kits that are intended for Auto/Trucks should be avoided like the Plague as there are subtle differences between the Auto and Marine versions

No luck. Searched Holley's list before posting this thread. Also don't see it on your list. It must be a unicorn list number
It’s not a unicorn I suspect that they give Volvo a unique carb number and agree to sell only VP the parts. Mikes Carbs wasn’t 100 % sure if his kit would be correct….

I rebuilt the 2 bbl on my buddies 4.3 two summers ago and ended up getting a OEM VP kit from leaders rpm wasn’t that bad cost wise and was correct
