I'm down to a few punch list problems on the full restoration of my 65 Barracuda. A big one is that I have not been able to get the 273 to start up normally with the Carter AFB 4 bbl #3854S carburetor. I have tried two different kits and had an old mechanic try his hand but its not right.
When I do get it running with a lot of cranking and pumping it will run but doesn't want to idle down and stay running until its real warm. There is 4 - 6 psi from the fuel pump. The carb has never been completely rebuilt but has a new accel. pump, new needle and valve seats, and factory clearance specs on the floats and the choke. The ignition has a new coil and new condenser.
Before I give up on the Carter carb and buy a new Edelbrock I'm hoping that some fellow members can help solve the problem. Any idea?
