IF one uses original factory calibrated parts: The Stromberg type EE-1 (Ford version 97) likes 3.0 psi fuel pressure at idle. (Orifice 0.098...
I would start with an engine compression test. Jon
OK - apologies to all :p I used an acronym not known by all, and have received several PM's. FLAPS = (F)riendly (L)ocal (A)uto (P)arts (S)tore Jon
I see posts in many threads on this forum concerning very low fuel pressure. Gentlemen - often the necessity of a fuel regulator and low fuel...
Testing first! If it is determined that the carburetor(s) is/are the culprit, then: If the center carb is any good (you DID say Speedway), and...
With no offense meant to anyone: (1) Sanding, milling, filing, etc. the gasket surface might temporarily fix the issue, but the warpage will come...
Thank you, that clears up the discrepancy, the carb is actually not new, as supplied by Rochester; rather one that has been rebuilt (modified, if...
OK, but, no offense meant, does not answer my question. To my knowledge Rochester never sold a "circle track carb" new. Thus, one would think...
Thanks for posting the answer; but why did a new carb have the incorrect (longer) idle mixture screw springs? What else is wrong with it? An issue...
I made my first comment about the deer eating the tape "tongue in cheek" so to speak, although the story is totally true. I personally and...
5 decades ago, when I worked for a natural gas company, we wrapped the yellow tape on wooden stakes marking where the machine was to dig. Made the...
Yes, the return lines allow the pressure being built in the lines after shutdown to bleed back to the tank. Note the comment in my first post...
Note to OP: Apologies, I was not trying to ruffle your feathers, only suggesting an avenue (the return lines) that virtually always works for...
I probably should stay out of this thread, since the carbs are no longer Rochester because of the imitation bases. What else has been changed? In...
I always thought the Ford 360 and Chevrolet 350 were responsible for the first gas shortage! ;) Jon
FOR SALE: Have an original Victor gasket box containing seven (7) new old stock Victor carburetor fiber spacers number 17248. These spacers would...
Just saw this. Generally, the "flange" size refers to the accepted S.A.E. naming convention for carburetor flange sizes. The threes sizes most...
There are many 2 barrel and 4 barrel carburetors that fit the above description. In the 4 barrel category: Carter WCFB, Rochester 4-G, and...
Looked up Springfield ND and find elevation at 1299 feet. Stromberg standard jetting (one carb) was designed to run sea level to 5000 feet....
Here is a copy of the "sales pitch" from Holley: Note the venturi air velocity question raised by Nick above is addressed. The Holley Downdraft...
Got called away from posting for breakfast ;) The pictured Stromberg is of the NA design. Stromberg also had another series (H) available as an...
The large prototype would have been for military use. To my knowledge, the only one built, or the only one surviving. The "smaller" 600/850 CFM...
Glad you asked ;) https://www.thecarburetorshop.com/Carbshop_carbsizesandCFM.htm Jon
The banning of tank carburetors for drag racing was mentioned in another thread. Not wishing to hijack the thread but still thought some might...
Stromberg offered two- barrel tank carbs during WWII that had throttle bores the same size as the secondaries in a Q-Jet (about 600 CFM measured...
Ned - try to find a forum specializing in pulling tractors, and pose your question there. Over the years, have had a number of inquiries from...
Two big turn-offs: (1) No title (I got bit on this one once, and yes, I was able to get a legal title with a LOT of work). (2) Serious buyers...
https://www.thecarburetorshop.com/Dual1barrelcarbs.htm https://www.thecarburetorshop.com/Triple1barrels.htm As has been mentioned in this...
I realize we are not discussing Carter AFB's in this thread, however, lest the comments might be found by some to bleed over to genuine Carter. I...
This in a hot rod forum, so most folks here will answer an ambiguous question such as this with a performance answer. But we are also getting...
