my first carb rebuild, done, but adjustment question

I would suggest upgrading to a nice 4 barrel carb.

you can get them pretty cheap now and you can find them even cheaper used.

and you would notice and increase in power and depending on the carb you might not even notice a difference in MPG unless you keep the 4 barrels singing often lol.

you can either get a 2to4 adapter plate for your intake or you could upgrade your intake while you are at it.

a nice used carb and intake could probably be picked up here on fabo from $200-$300 easy enough.

anyhow....being the case your looking to strictly make your carb work for you.....then I would say you need to find a few essential missing parts and you should pull it back apart and properly set the afjustments on everything.

when I rebuilt my eddy 600cfm carb it was a "working carb" but I still went through and set all the adjustments as I should and changed anything that looked questionable.

the floats were WAY out of adjustment, one hung a 1/4" lower than it should and one hung 1/8" higher than it should.

I changed out all springs,plunger, put in 4 new jets,all new gaskets,everything was thoroughly cleaned and polished,everything was adjusted in properly .

and she works GREAT.

given I know a thing or 2 mechanically........But building a carb can be done by someone with little experience.....just make sure you follow the instructions step by step and listen to what everyone has to tell you so that you do not have to do the job more times than is necessary.

good luck!
