Thread: What causes low rpm hesitation?

Oh sure ntfday, now you tell me!!! I'll check the metering rods tomorrow c9x and I am also just going to buy a new accel pump just for the halibit. Unfortunitly I bought the carb used so no book. I will research the jet numbers and check them.

Brickman, I am by no means a carb guru, but I've messed with enough Carter/Edelbrocks to be fairly familiar with them. You can drill out the jets on them where you can't on a Holley, but I don't think that is your problem. I believe your problem is in the primary discharge circuit and/or float adjustment/float drop. That is a pain to adjust. I would suggest having the carb boiled out and rebuilding it to insure there are no contaminates in it.

Yes I agree that it needs to be boiled out and possibly changed in some of the things but for right now I am seriously thinging of putting a new holley on her and send that eddy to the swap meets. I am not going to mess with it too much more.

What intake manifold are you running?

I have an air gap duel plain eddy intake, they are pretty new. I liked everything about it and it sounded like a real good street intake.

I've heard a lot of good about them. Are they square bore?
