Are you talking about the slot that's slightly visible ? In the red circles ?the other photo I screenshot from an article I read on setting idle. The cam in my motor is just a bit more than oem and we just set the timing again last week

I'll do that now. Didn't even think of that. Lol. I'm googling everything else cept that.

No. All I did was a/f mixture screws and the low and high idle. I was hoping to find out where the low and high idle screws are set coming from the manufacturer and go from there. Start like it was coming out of the box. Because it ran pretty good out of the box except for the flooding and that...

So I pulled the carb off this morning and nothing seems amiss. Photos to follow. I turned the idle screw down a bit ccw... so car was idling at a little above 700 and this dropped the high idle down as well to about 11 or so. Same thing if I tapped the gas it would drop to the 700s. work the...

I'll pull it off in the morning when I get home. Look again. Carb is only 3 years old with about 4k miles on it. It didn't due any of this till I started messing with it. My original problem was flooding and hard to start after engine was hot. After some internetting I realized my fuel pump...

So I came home from work this morning hit the gas to set the choke it fired right up idled at about 1100. As it warmed up over about 10 minutes the rpms slowly climbed till it was about 1500 rpm. I hit the throttle and it drops to bout 850. Choke is fully open. But still does the same stays at...

Ok I was able to spend a little time on my carb this morning. I was wrong about those pictures with the choke partially closed. When the engine is warmed up the choke is all the way open. In the picture I'm gonna post what is the thing I have circled ? Because when the car is idling...

This is how it looks cold before I start or hit the gas and here's the return spring setup

First off I appreciate all the responses. I love this forum. Almost everything I need to know I've found by reading other posts. Back to mine. It's been a beautiful weekend had the car out everyday plus a show on Saturday. I pulled the carb off to look at the primaries and they are closed as...

Ok here's what I have nothing is touching that cam when it's high idling after I goose the throttle and the idle drops still nothing is touching anything. If I touch this linkage on the choke side idle drops. Not the best video but it's what I'm talking about it won't let me load the video sorry

Thank you for all the replies. I'll look at things in the morning. Carb is only 3 years old. New when I had the motor built. Checked for vacuum leaks last week and there weren't any. So I can rule that out at least. I recently pulled the top off and checked and adjusted the float drop and levels

Heres my issue.......440 motor pretty much oem. edelbrock 1411. Carb was pretty much OK until I started screwing with idle and mixture screws. I cant leave well enough alone. Now it idles at around 850 which is what is was idling at ....however whenever I hit the gas or drive anywhere it stays...

I don't know if I was drunk when I tried to put this sticker on 2 years ago or maybe it was old who knows. But it didn't stick then but a new sticker does now.

My air cleaner does have the pie tin on top My question is about the yellow sticker I have circled

Im Referring to the little rectangular sticker I have circled
