Thread: edelbrock carb problems

Tweet

I have been filling the carb with fuel each time. I just disconnect the fuel line and hold it up and fill it with a funnel until no more will go in. Then I start it and it runs dry in 5 seconds.
The needles are in there and they have the factory step up springs. The floats are set exactly as the manual says they should be set and nothing is sticking on them.

I am going to replace the fuel pump, but regardless, it shouldn't be running dry that fast should it?

oh yeah, and I am using a pressure regulator set at 5.5, just like the manual says.

I have no idea what's going on, but I just wish my engine would start when I turned the key and then keep running. My lawnmower starts on the first pull for cryin out loud.
