With the engine running, stuff a rag into the closed secondaries; report your results.
Carb main body on backwards on the base plate?
I never saw the choke horn in the back. Am I missing something??
thats crazy cause I just payed to have my carb rebuilt so you guys are telling me it’s still on backwards
Oh My, now I've seen just about everything. lolCarb main body on backwards on the base plate?
Not 100% sure but I would check float bowls and metering blocks alsoGuess that could be the reason my car still shoots up to 1500 at idle
Will doThe genius that rebuilt the carb installed the carb base plate backwards...that will be an issue.
You can switch it around yourself...only need a #3 Phillips screwdriver
Will do thanks guys for your helpNot 100% sure but I would check float bowls and metering blocks also
I have one of those I guess I’ll give that a tryDon't know about the Holleys but Edelbrock carbs have the low speed idle screws for left and right sides facing forward.

Yea I’ve heard good things about those but right now I’m not really 100% sure if the carburetor is my issue and To be honest my next step after this is just to save up and go with either a Holley sniper efi system or a fitech efi systemThe Edelbrock 1406 electric choke carb is a good universal carb for many applications, pretty simple carb and easy to adjust.
Usually for me it has been bolt on and go.
Why get him even more confused? On Holleys/Demons the idle mixture screws are on the sides of the metering blocks. Looks like this Demon has 4 of them. This is the least of his problems.Don't know about the Holleys but Edelbrock carbs have the low speed idle screws for left and right sides facing forward.

Yes, your carburetor is probably 90% of the problem. Put together wrong.Yea I’ve heard good things about those but right now I’m not really 100% sure if the carburetor is my issue and To be honest my next step after this is just to save up and go with either a Holley sniper efi system or a fitech efi system
