Troubleshooting & FAQ
Which specific Holley carburetors does this kit fit?
This kit is designed for Holley 4150 series carburetors, specifically models R-80378A and R-80378-1A, which were factory-installed on Volvo Penta 8.2L GL engines from 1993–2000.
Does this kit include everything I need for a rebuild?
This is a comprehensive service kit containing common wear items like gaskets, seals, and O-rings. However, it does not include hard parts like floats or metering rods. Verify the contents against your specific needs.
What are the symptoms of a failing carburetor that this kit can fix?
Common symptoms include rough idling, engine stalling, hesitation upon acceleration, black smoke from the exhaust (rich condition), or visible fuel leaks around the carburetor body. This kit replaces the seals and gaskets that typically cause these issues.
Is any special tool required for installation?
Standard mechanic's tools are generally sufficient. However, a dedicated carburetor jet tool and a fuel pressure gauge are recommended for proper service and tuning.
How do I find my carburetor model number to confirm fitment?
The model number (e.g., R-80378A) is typically stamped on the carburetor's air horn or main body. Cross-reference this number and your engine details with our compatibility list.
What is the difference between an OEM and an aftermarket part?
This listing is an aftermarket replacement (not OEM). It's built to OEM-level specifications with comparable materials and manufactured in an ISO 9002 facility, with batch inspections for consistency.

We ship worldwide quickly—typical transit is 5–15 days. Standard shipping is free, and expedited options appear at checkout where available.
