Well car runs better when warm but now am getting low idle sputter or knocking when cold in the mornings. again i am a NOOB so excuse my lingo. any insight to this?

Yeah just read it. Perfect. Thanks I will try that.

34-35 sorry... Okay I will read it. Just noticed it was thee.... Thanks What's the spark port? I'll be back .... Reading :reading:

okay lets take a few steps back, so how do i lower my 5 inch reading to 3/4 to zero? timed vacuum = 5 in <-- i need to lower this one to 0 / 3/4? manifold vacuum = 25 in

okay ... timed vacuum is far left which is what the V-can is connected to and what gave me a reading of 5 inches. the middle is connected to my valve cover PCV valve. and the far right is manifold port which reads 25 inches. i have... <-- 1411 edelbrock carburetor. i feel completely...

"engine running transmission in Park,loosen the dizzy hold-down bolt and rotate that dizzy; till the idle speed stops increasing and the vacuum falls to zero, or 3/8 inch, whichever comes first." sorry now i am lost, this is what i understood. is this incorrect? again you guys have been huge...

HA, SORRY GUYS... &thanks AJ not great on the "lingo" but i have gathered a great deal of knowledge from you guys. again i am not great at this like you guys are.. masters to apprentices ... so... 1.) ill take my vacuum gauge connect it and it will read 5 inches so loosen distributor...

i recently purchased a vacuum gauge to do the AIR/FUEL setting on my carb (edelbrock 1411) and on the left side i am getting 5psi on the right i am getting 25psi does this sound right? (MANIFOLD/mechanical) if the can on the distributor goes bad what symptoms would i have? i dont think this...

thanks guys. So now at least we have identified the issue here. i just downloaded the edelbrock owners manual and will be getting a rebuilt kit and re doing the floats. thanks. once i do that i will keep you guys posted and hope its resolved.

so it should not be dibbling gasoline while at idle?

i will try this, i took it apart last night and cleaned everything but the needle and seat :( [fail] yes i do have a filter. fairly new i replaced it a few months ago.

anyone?

I know this is old but, (high jacked) edelbrock 1411 four barrel Looking down at the carb. While at idle it dribbles fuel from the fuel needles is this a sign of flooding or is this normal? Just curious ..... Problem = low idle sputter... Timing is good. No air leak.

how did you reset the floats?

New ones? new floats? or new carburetor? or new pins? (the pins that lift floats.) :coffee2::burnout: i have some experience with carburetors but from motorcycle im guessing its similar anyways. if its flooding it means that the pins under the floats are stuck correct causing them to flood...

so what is the cure to flooded floats? i am having the same issue but on left turns. 1968 barracuda 440 engine four barrel eddlebrock.

hmm... maybe dont tell them you were probing the gas tank with foreign objects..... just saying...

xx^

on [park] it idles bad (sputtery/high) on gear [gear] it idles good

ANOTHER SYMPTOM i forgot to mention was that the car idles a bit hectic(higher rpm/ sputtery if this makes sense ) on [PARK] and on gear it idles pretty good. does this sound like timing or can this be resolved in a different manner?

what tools would i need to complete this? also by the way the motor is all stock (to my knowledge) 1973 dodge charger 440 magnum./

ive replaced all carb. gaskets .. and tightened all screws... some one said maybe the metering rods or springs... but havent tried that. sounds to me like a vacuum issue. :glasses7:

haha, i personally don't really understand this 100% because ive never done this and also dont have the proper equipment and or tools. if i take this in to a shop what would a reference to as far as getting done? just ask them to tune it and they should be experienced enough to know and...

i will defiantly check this out thank you. :cheers:

okay so if i understand correctly your saying i should fully back out the idle screw then check for vacuum @ the manifold port :blob:and then retune my mixture screws.

ping = carb whistle at first initial start and then at highway speeds at higher rpms. :burnout:

:happy1: okay so I've been struggling with a hard ping coming from my 1411 edelbrock for some time now. last night i switched my vacuum advance line form time vacuum to manifold vacuum and it fixed it for the most part. i have suction on both vacuum ports from what i understand time...

Yeah, haha Just leaving more info for when new people come looking for same issues . Always good to update

I had the same issue, because I had replaced the base and gaskets of the carburetor/intake with thicker versions so because it was taller the throttle cable was throwing the idle off. Stupid mistake that I overlooked. Thank guys for the clear insight always turns out to be some thing small...
