Tuning a Eddy Carb??

[straightlinespeed]

I have a Eddy 600 carb that came on a previous engine. I have no idea if it was tweaked already or not but the previous engine had some starting issues.

I decided to run this carb on my new engine and the engine will not start unless you hold the Carb wide open. It will fire and run. As soon as you put it into gear it acts like its loading up and wants to die. If I put it back into neutral and rev it up it will smooth out, as soon as it goes back into gear same thing.

I would like to try to adjust this myself and get this carb set properly but I have never done a automotive carb before. Is there any easy step by step instructions for tuning a carb? Or do I have to have special tools and should leave it up to a performance shop?

Thanks Bad, that gives me a good idea. I already noticed a few things to try. I appreciate it!
