Default Re: Rebuilt Carb causes "chug" "chug" at ignition

I'm just the oposite, I've had nothing but good luck with AFB's. It's the darn Holley's with their leaks and power valves that drives me crazy.

I had Holleys on my Donzi and later Cigarette. They'd blow a power valve and I'd be out there rocking back and forth changing the power valve so I could get home. Had to idle through the "no wake" zones. With the blown power valve, it was hard to keep it idling without loading up.

I switched to AFB's, a little triming and not a problem.

Also, ran dual 500's on my last Mustang and am building a 347 now with dual 500's.

To me they are much easier to tune and hold the tune better.

"That's my story and I'm sticking to it !!"
