Hi guys|! The 1405 Eddy carb on my 327 started to act up, when I turn a sharp corner or have to stop really hard it stalls, I suspect the floats but would they be to high or to low? Thank's in advance.
I will be waiting on the answer to this one myself as I have a similar problem! I have the same carb on my daily driver truck and when I make a turn, the RPM's drop quite a bit. Never enough to stall but very noticeable and since this is a manual trans, it bucks/hesitates a tad getting back into the throttle.
Been doing that since it was new. I checked my floats and they are good and set properly. ???
I have the same problem with my 600 cfm eddy carb. I have adjusted the floats up and down and everywhere in between. Nothing seems to help. My fuel pressure is at about 5#. I checked the pressure with three different gauges. Cecil recently posted a GM service bulletin that dealt with the same problem back in the early '60's. The fix was to change or modify the air bleed. I will attempt to find that bulletin. Leo
We put a replacement auto parts store pump on one of our 409s, it had approximately 7 lbs of pressure. We had to put on a pressure regulator. Never thought a simple replacement pump would have put out that much pressure. We didn't have the problem as described above just a dribble of fuel after shutdown. It turned out that we also had a bad float in a relatively new Edelbrock.
I have also seen the above issue when there was a small amount of water moving around in the float bowl.
I've never had good luck with edelbrock carbs.
Purchased a new edelbrock 600 for my '66. It didnt even have 5 years and 15k miles on it and the throttle shafts were wore out so bad it was sucking air through them.
