tryin to break in new engine, ruff idle
The fuel lines and tank are clean, but thanks for your input Green1.
DodgeFreak I'm glad you agree wth me its a carb issue. I'm seriously considering getting a new carb now, even though I just blew 50 bucks rebuilding this Holley 600.
But I'm also worried about my big cam and Edelbrock Torker II manifold. I read this today on another website "
Very good for high-rpm use, these manifolds can be a real challenge to tune for low-end, street rpm
use. A single plane manifold will typically significantly reduce vacuum, and this causes several problems."
The website mentioned low vacuum and difficulty tuning the idle transition. I cant even get my engine to idle without turning in the idle speed screw to get it above 1800 rpms and partly choking the carb. Then I see fuel dripping into the carb from the mains. It seems the idle circuit isnt even working, because the mixture screws dont do anything. I thnk I'm getting it to idle using the mains. I think it lacks the vacuum to pull from the idle circuit. But I've triple checked for vacuum leaks.
I'm thinking of getting a new carb and intake. It hurts to dump hundreds more into it, but I need it running. Whaddya think?
