edelbrock carb ?s

[nuclearlemon]

edelbrock 600cfm on a sb350. no major mods to the 350. get it adjusted to where it sounds good at idle and reving it in the neutral sounds great, but put it in gear and go and it pops lke it's rich...i'm thinking it may be (my sniffer isn't very good, but sometimes i think i can smell it...with my old q-jet, i couldn't ever smell it). have a run tomorrow and need to go check fluids anyway, so i'm thinking i might try leaning it out before i head up the hills. am i on the right track here? is lean clockwise or ccw?

Pops like it is rich?


I have had that issue because the mixture was lean, due to vaccume leaks and such...but not from being too rich...

 

[nuclearlemon]

yeah, it's kind of a gurgling boggy popping.

Single pop or multiple popping. Small pop or big pop?

Really, I'm serious!

 

[nuclearlemon]

multiple, but kind of spaced apart...minor...kinda muffled sounding. when i jump on it and keep it at high r's it's not as bad, but in town sucks and steady throttle sucks.

Are you running a vacuum guage? Readings?

I Put One On Right Out Of The Box, And Had That Problem. I Put It On A Diagnostic And Turns Out It Had A Complete Left Bank Failure. Was Only Runnin On Half The Carb. Put On A New One And There It Was. Those Things Are So Easy To Dial In That You Shouldn't Have That Much Of A Problem. Follow The Manual On Setting The Mixture. "lean Idle Cheat" Using A Tach Is The Easiest. Next, Try A Diagnostic...
