I've got the Carter AFB carbs back on the Max Wedge and I'm happy to report that they no longer leak after the engine is shut off. I syncronized them at 2,000 rpm than adjusted the idle speed screws to idle at 1,000. It idles fine and has plenty of power, and I can even cruise in town in 4th gear at 1200 rpm without the engine bucking. (I couldn't do that with my 413 & 750 Edelbrock). I'm having just one problem. When I put in the clutch at a stop light, the engine wants to run at 1500 to 1700 rpm. The linkage isn't sticking, and each carb has a throttle return spring. The pump adjustment is in the 3rd hole on the rod, per the specs. It's almost like the engine is getting gas through the metering rods. If I let out on the clutch and apply a load then push it back in, the engine idles normally at 1000.
Edelbrock carbs have an orange step up spring for the metering rods calibrated for 5 inches of vacuum. They have a strip kit with several spring options. If this was an Edelbrock card, I'd try a 4 or 3 inch of vacuum spring. Does anyone know the rating for a factory step up spring in a Carter AFB? Also... does anyone know whether the step up springs from an Edelbrock carb will fit a Carter? If I remember correctly, the metering jets are different, but I've never compared the step up springs...Brian
