    Carburetor Noise

    Fixed an old 307 sb chevy quite a while back that did the same thing. Sounded like a machine gun outta the carb when the throttle was opened. AsRusty & yellow rose said Iit had a wiped out exhaust cam lobe. $20 says you have the same issue man. New cam & lifters and that 307 ran great! For a sb...

    QuickFuel 880 Surging/Missing At Wide Open Throttle

    I went through a situation like this with a quick fuel 450 dp carb. No matter what I did to the idle feed restrictions or the idle air bleeds (im using a wide band) just rite off idle into transition it would go off scale (16.5-17.8) lean until you got past it or low enough vacum to trip the...

    Most all (at least today) marine carbs have the bowl vent re-directed back down the carb In case needle & seat sticks it will keep fuel from running all over in the boat. Thats pretty cool stuff rite there man!

    $5 ld4b

Yeah I know it runs cooler on the fender but each to there own. Also the kickdown linkage will need to be modded (it an automatic) to work correct with...

    Street Demon 625 vs. Street Avenger 670

    Your not alone in the "banishing the bog" fight. I had same issue with my eddy 500 on my 273.I ended up (after tuing idle, cruise & power circuits) getting an accelerator pump & spring from a 800cfm eddy due to it have a heavier spring (faster pump shot). Then used counter weights from the 800 &...

    Edelbrock part throttle surge help

    He is referring to the "idle" jet not the primary main jet. The idle jet is the small brass tube in the primary booster its the small one drill it out in .001-.002 steps. That totally cured my off idle lean stumble. (Tuning with a wide band meter) its real easy to over do it is whay you make...

    Tuning help with new carb on strong 408

    Wide band O2!!!!!!!!!! How much of your transition slots are exposed? If too much it will idle rich & have hesitation when accelerating from off idle. Demons had a sweet air bleed right into the center of the carb to get the idle speed up & not expose the transition slots. Or the old school way...

    New carb or current carb?

    Man if is worken good & just want to fine tune it spend your $$$ on a wide band band o2 meter & fine tune what you have. Vacum secondary carbs are more forgiving of mismatch parts & lower torque motors but proper tuning will make any carb work great! I've gotten them both (mechanical &vacuum...

    choke thermostat

    Is it a 4bbl carb? I do like the electric choke by far! If there is aftermarket electric choke conversions ava then by all means get it! If the intakemanifold hasn't been off in a while I'm sure the crossover is plugged anyway with carbon & the stock style choke probably don't come off very...

    Single vs Dual Plane, big difference?

    If you heads are stock small port go with the performer or even better yer an old LD4B intake & 600 cfm carb. You will be very happy with the out come from that combo. I know weiand makes a dual plane i think that has the smaller ports but don't know the part number or name of it. Another fall...

    Single vs Dual Plane, big difference?

    In a word....YES! i just swapped out my stock 4BBL single plane intake for a edelbrock LD4B intake & it picked up low end grunt it never had! Plus i use a wide band 02 meter to tune the carb. After installing the LD4B my air fuel raito cleaned up 12.6 beforehand to 14.4 at cruising light...

    Holly tube shooters

    Get a wide band 02 gauge & tune with that! it is hands down the best way to tune carbs & you will know for sure what way to go. There around $ 200 bucks & will pay for its self when the guessing is done.
