Rich off idle stumble.
« on: August 09, 2025, 02:21:35 PM »
I'm getting a stumble off idle light throttle tip in. I have the linkage in the outer hole, was worse on the inner hole.
Combo 421 SBC Vic JR. 227/239 @ 0.05 hyd roller 9.8 CR 18 deg initial w/10 deg manifold vac.
Pretty sure the accel discharge hasn't been opened up, I didn't note it on my sheet.

18 deg initial is a lot and to me it indicates a too lean idle circuit.

What carb and recipe?

Your idle calibration is similar to mine... I have .029" idle tubes, .043 UIAB in air horn, .062 LIAB, .046 IDCR.  Using .046" Dual MABs, and 74 jet w/ 54M rods.  Idle air bypass on mine is 0.089".   I have less cam (217/225 @ 0.050, 108 LSA).  I have 13 deg initial with ported vacuum advance (15 deg can).

I wonder if reducing the IDCR would help with the rich spike?
