273 carb probs!!!

rickdick78 said

Hey guys, anybody have good advice on a good size carb for a 273 with a mild summit 6900 cam? Ive got a 600 cfm edel on there now, and i just feel like its way too big. I cant get it to run right.
Im really wanting an easy driver with good fuel economy more than a power house. Id rather drive it everyday!! Any suggestions??

OK, lets get serious about this carb. What, exactly , isn't it doing that it should be doing, or, what is it doing that it shouldn't be doing? Be specific. The carb guru's here need to know all this to properly troubleshoot the problem.

The 600 on it should be in the ballpark, and probably just needs some adjustments to run right. Could be vacuum leaks, or even timing issues (carb's get blamed for all sorts of issues that aren't carb-related). 390,500, 600 aren't that different from each other. Now, if you were trying to get an 1150 Dominator to work on that 273, then you'd have some issues.
