carburator

j's69stang · 05-13-2000, 05:15 PM

i got a edelbrock 600cfm manual choke carburator with less than 5000 miles on it. When i pump the gas 2 times it starts up just fine, but when i get home and let it sit for a while(about 1 hour or so) it takes about 5 seconds to start up. i have checked for vaccuum leaks and it didnt do this when i had my stock 2 barrel on it. Is it just the edelbrock or is it something more than that. need expert on edelbrock carbs please?

69 mustang, 302-4v, c4, ac,ps,pb,3" flows, stock basically

do you have any kind of carb spacer? i've put a carter conversion on probably 100 old fords and the one time i didn't use a spacer the fuel would percolate in the carb and cause a hot starting problem.
if its not that then you're probably too rich.
