Carb Help

Postby CFR67 » Wed Feb 07, 2018 10:29 am

Looking for someone in the North Denver area that is good with carburetors. I'm in the Brighton area. I brought my Bronco from Louisiana and feel like it might need tuned to the altitude.

Possibly the Jets need to be switched out. Also check float should be 7/16 if I remember correctly. Depending on the carb. Mine is a Edelbrock.

You best bet is to find someone with an AFR meter that can actually tune it. Otherwise you can get a jet kit and tinker. Edelbrock has a good tuning procedure in their instructions for the 1406.

1st thing I’d do is lean out the idle mixture, no jet change needed just turn the screws in until it idles rough then back out to the hint of smooth. A vacuum gauge is helpful. I’m sure the carb is rich overall, but this would help the low speed and rich stumble.
