Holley spreadbore 650 on a stock 318 and has the stock #56 jets in carb and 9.5 PV, it idles best when the mixture screws are all the way in. Could it have too small of jets in the carb? Should I bump them up a few jet sizes?
If the diaphram ruptures the bowl will empty through the vacuum passage into the manifold. Look down the carb ypou'll see a fuel - depending the gasket you might even see it around the base externally. If its idling decent doubt its ruptured.Thanks again. After disconnecting the EGR, idle speed screw was backed off about 3 turns and she settled down nicely. Idle mixture screws are about 1/4ish turns from seated. It runs really smooth now.
I wonder if the PV was blown. It did backfire a few times at first startup. Maybe I'll pull the bowl off and check it tomorrow.
Yeah, it idles super smooth. I don't think it's bad then.If the diaphram ruptures the bowl will empty through the vacuum passage into the manifold. Look down the carb ypou'll see a fuel - depending the gasket you might even see it around the base externally. If its idling decent doubt its ruptured.
