Does anybody have a clew what the factory setting(position)are for these 2 screws? I cannot find it anywhere and I have the owners manual......all it tells is how to set them,but not what the stock position of them are and by position what i mean is there factory base line setting(if screwed all the way in,how many turns back out to factory specs).Got the carb off a buddy of mine and its all JACKED up...any ideas would be helpful,its a PERFORMER 1406(600cfm)carb
Thanks

AFB is 1 to 1 1/2 max which should cover the edel one as well. Both my AFB are at 1 1/4 on my tunnel ram.

So thats 1 1/2 FULL turns out max....and that should get me in the ballpark,
O.K., I will give it a try in the mornin thats if is not 16 deg. out again
Thanks

yes - turn until they are closed or in all the way, do not over tighten be nice to the little screw , then turn out 1 and 1/4 turns to start. Should be dam close depending on your motor. My SBC 350 is 1 1/4 Dad's olds is about 1 1/3 so that should get you running.

Thanks a mill.... ill be sure to be easy on the lill guys ,the last thing I nead is to strip one of them out .... is it possable to flood your carb easier if your not using a fuel filter? this might be a dumb question but wouldnt a fuel filter act more like a small restriction,almost like a set regulator...and without that in place cause fuel to get forced into carb to quickley =ing in flooding?

Nope,....

But,.. Running Without a filter Will introduce a pile of $h!t into the carb....

I'll add .. BIG Pile! 5.5 =6PSI on the fuel pressure. More and fuel will pass the seats which can cause flooding.

Float set to high = flooding
bad seats = flooding
to high fuel pressure = flooding
bad body gasket = flooding

Before running it may sure the area is dry in the carb and get a good light, Pull the coil wire or whatever so it won't fire. Either use a remote button or a buddy whose still sober after sucking down all yor PBR have them spin the motor over WITHOUT touching the throttle and look into the carb. Repeat a few times.

Do you see fuel spray in there? A puddle forming in the back secondaries?
No?? Your seats and such are fine

Yes?? Your seats and or all the above are bad or need adjusting.

Floats are easy - 7/16 drill bit dead center of the float with the unit upside down.

Seats you can gently clean sometimes with hot soapy water.

gastket - make or buy a new one.

Now go buy a 5 dollar filter!!!!

Got the IMS set out at 1 turn and it runs better than with the ccc but when I bump the throttle it backfires up threw the carb but not bad enough to stall it.....it looks like a small geyser erupting......and idles rough,I havent checked the timing yet with a light,just by sound....I have read that 80% of the time the cause is timing,10% could be to lean and the other 10% is reserved advance timing problems like vacuum adv. diaphragm or maybe mechanical adv. springs weak or worn......I recurved the timing so its new......im betting its the timing.
