Well those appear to have the E tubes in them.
These?Are the vertical holes in the e well drilled or blank?
The two orifices that is out of whack to me is the .053 IAB and the .024 MAB.
The .024 MAB delays the primary start, a .026 or .028 is what I run with 2 hole emulsion blocks.
The .053 IAB is normally .070 or .073 with today's carbs. On a 650 or 750 I run a .033 IFR and .067 or .070 IAB.
I believe your issue is a combo of to lean on idle/transition and slightly delayed primary coming in at light throttle. When you continue getting in the throttle the signal increases and primary have full flow.
Threaded brass set screws are the way to go if you really want to dial in. 6/32 x 1/8 for IFR, EML, MAB. 8/32 x 1/8 for IAB, PVRC, TSR.
Today's pump gas contains ethanol and it takes more fuel to equal the same BTUs real gasoline produces. Old carbs were setup for pure gasoline.
I've run a 600 1850 without E tubes 2x.028 EML with the same kill bleed location with no issues.I agree with that but did you see the picture of his metering block? It has a weird kill bleed location and some other stuff I forget without looking at the picture again.
2x.027 and .026 or .028 MAB has always given me a flat fuel curve with a fuel delivery system that can feed the motor.Read the discussion I linked to. Especially the discussion between Deep Roots and Tuner toward the end. This seems to be one of those situations where sometimes the kill bleed in the dogleg is just enough to really kill the start of the boosters and sometimes its not a problem at all.
When I get my car running, I'll be curious to see how well my 650 carb does with those dogleg holes now plugged.
I agree the IAB in particular seems very small. Maybe that's the secondary block??
Deeproots and Gntkllr posted a fair number of that should be good guidance for getting this into the ballpark. IIRC numbers are all in the same range as you (Mderoy) suggest.
Also in the same range as my 650 VS. I don't have 600 or 650 DP or I'd post that too.

So primary IFR is just over .033" and IAB is .073"
I decided to drill regular kill bleeds in both blocks. I'm not sure if the ones in the primary block will help or hurt. On secondary block that was specifically done as a siphon break.
The reason I've reduced the primary high speed air bleeds was because the AFR on the dyno was showing increasing need for correction corresponding to the reduction in jet sizes. Only when I take it to the track with a working logger will I know whether this was a move in the right direction, and if it was, whether it was sufficient, too much or too little.
^^^^This is what I’ve suspected the whole time. Question is, how to correct it? I’m not sure I’m interested in trying to drill out these tiny holes or press in new ones. Perhaps a replacement adjustable metering block is in order here. I briefly considered a ProForm main body but they do not come with blocks and there is no provision for a vacuum advance port if using my existing block.I believe your issue is a combo of to lean on idle/transition and slightly delayed primary coming in at light throttle.
Negative. It’s the primary. I’m gonna measure again to be sure but I was pretty careful the first time around.I agree the IAB in particular seems very small. Maybe that's the secondary block??

I would drill the Primary MAB to .026, the IAB to .067, and the IFR to .033^^^^This is what I’ve suspected the whole time. Question is, how to correct it?

Go make a sheet or table like I poisted or there's ones on Racing Fuel System as well.^^^^This is what I’ve suspected the whole time. Question is, how to correct it?

You think it has IFRs in the idle up wells?Here is what I’m working on.

This has an IAB of .082 and it doesn’t even look like it has any idle feed restriction. I pinned it at .080 but that can’t be right. And the upper bleed is .040 and the lower one is .028. Definitely has tube emulsion.

We talked about this - maybe even found a pic - certainly a description - from Tuner.
I'm I seeing holes in the dog legs and a bleed into the angle channel? I sure hope there's e-tubes in that case!
Haven’t seen any follow up on what you ended up doing. What and from where did you source the pin drills. I’m not seeing much for drill sets in searches for sourcing the bits needed especially for the IFR’s.Pin drills are on the way. Gonna yank the carb again tonight and break it down for another inspection and cleaning. Will measure all bleeds and report back with results and some pics of metering block.
I’m beginning to wonder if ordering a Proform main body isn’t the way to go here. Could be money well spent if I have to go down the rabbit hole of drilling or filling these factory holes.
Amazon and McMaster Carr have the small drill sets.Haven’t seen any follow up on what you ended up doing. What and from where did you source the pin drills. I’m not seeing much for drill sets in searches for sourcing the bits needed especially for the IFR’s.
Come on man, tell us whether you got that off idle stumble taken care of and what you’ve done^^^^This is what I’ve suspected the whole time. Question is, how to correct it?

Well, kind of. I disassembled the carb as far as I was comfortable doing and gave it a very thorough cleaning. Reassembled and tested without making any other changes and surprisingly the stumble was almost gone completely. It still had a little bit of a hiccup at very light throttle while cruising at steady speed on a slight downhill road. This is ONLY when the vacuum advance was connected. Everywhere else was good.Come on man, tell us whether you got that off idle stumble taken care of and what you’ve done
Edit: Cat got your fingers huh?
