Re: drowning 383

You may want to email me directly on this as well as the list as I don't get every message, in fact I didn't get your original message, only Leslie's reply to it. And no, I'm not going to go fishing through Topica for it.

Yeah, I still have the 750, it's a 3310 I think (the one that looks like a double plump but with vacuum secondary's.) I've actually had problems with 5 different carbs, and my little carter AVS is the only on that works right. I've tried Eddy's, several hollies, even a TQ. One problem that has been consistent among the Hollies has been lack of response from the idle mixture needles. If this means I have a vacuum leak, well I hooked it up to a smoke machine and its tight. I believe you Don, you've convinced me, but getting it done is another problem. I have access to more jets than I can count between myself, my grandfather, and my boss.
She scoots around great on the street right now with the AVS though. With that big holly I was beed blasting my plugs every other week. I'm saving up money to get her painted and don't have but one day a week to play with it right now, unfortunately (full time college, part time mechanic in the works) So tell me oh guru, what am I doing wrong?

p.s. I haven't touched the AVS other than rebuilding it.
p.p.s. do you know anything about mid-90s chrysler products. Specifically 3.5l V-6 cars? Just wondering, mines got a few bugs in it.

  > A 750 was not drowning you 383. Something else was wrong. Jetting wrong ,
  bad carb overhaul. Busted or incorrect power valve. First a properly jeted
  carb does not drown anything. it mixes 1 pound of fuel witrh every 13 pounds
  of air regardless of what is under it for an engine. unless  someone has
  monkeyed with it.  A bigger carb does not dump in more fuel that a smaller
  one at the d same RPM. The reason for carb sizing is as follows. When a carb
  is too big for a motor then at lower speeds  like under 2000 rpm the s
  airflow is not high enough or stready enough to give the venturi booster
  nozzle a strong enough signal so sustain a steady fuel flow. When you floor
  the throttle even moderately hard the engine bogs as the engine does not
  have enough air flow to support fuel delivery. Just  exactly the same as a
  airplane wing on a  plane going too slow to give enough lift to lift the
  plane off the runway. In fact it is the same principal . The bernoulli
  principle.
  > If you lived nearby and brought the 383 and 750 around i guarantee when
  you left it would glaze your eyeballs over and you would have to get your
  teeth fixed because you would be able to stop smiling. You need to find a
  new carb guy i think. it cetainly has nothing to do with the 750 size.
  > Carb size relates to airflow not fuel. flow. fuel flow is determined by
  jetting which is approx 1/ 240th of venturi sze which keeeps the mixture in
  constant. relationship .
