Secondary hanger and rods?

<< < (2/2)

Cliff Ruggles:
I just rebuilt and recalibrated that same carb for a customers who made some engine modifications.  It had small main jets and really small primary metering rods in it and not doing well for him. 

I went to bigger jets, metering rods and external APT in the baseplate.  I also opened up the idle tubes and went to DA secondary metering rods. 

The biggest problem I found with his is that it had been previously rebuilt and had a small N/S assembly in it and not keeping the bowl full. 

Let me know when you are ready to do the rebuild and we can go over some specifics then and make a few changes to help it out some.....

Jeff K:
Will do, thanks so much..

Jeff K:
Hi Cliff, I'm ready for a carb tune up. I think the acc. Pump is starting to go. I'm getting a stumble when pulling out. Other than that it runs real strong. That 22216 cam really work this 454 up. I can send everything needed in the mail if you like...
