600 edelbrock secondary bog.
Sounds like it’s working correctly then.
Even if the Air door doesn’t open, the secondary butterflies are mechanical and open up allowing air in and down the carb. Which of cause, means it’s running lean.
Ops, should have included this in the above quote , my bad....
Between distributor and ignition tuning, the only other carb part to tune/change are the primary squirters with the mandatory pump arm readjustment.
Pump arm tried in every hole, no change.
You think rich ring up the 2ndaries might be a better direction? And I am back to stock primaries, just with a silver spring, as it leans out and stumbles without it during slight acceleration. flota are spot on, 1” drop, 7/16 up.
im aware both carbs shouldn’t have the same problem, but there’s gotta be something I’m missing.
For those who don’t know, the avs series has vacuum secondaries, no weights. So I can easily adjust it by the air door, but seeing as it does much better with the secondaries locked out, how do I get more fuel there?? Even with the biggest jets it never made a difference.
My fuel pres is at 5.5, filters new. At this point I don’t want to get rid of the carb because I’ve got the owners manual memorized. But all it suggests is a “lean condition ‘probably’ exists, and to richen the mix.” After two years, about 200 test miles, I’m ready to drop it off at a shop and see if they will send a bill. But even the engine shop in town, claims they don’t know much about eddys and they will do it if I buy a holly. I’d like to make the eddy run.
So pardon my frustration. It’s been a headache of a year.
