Edelbrock 1405 Carburetor
So i rebuilt my carb for no apparent reason. Just because it was 10yrs old and very dirty. Thought rebuilding it would finish fine tuning my idle. So i used new gaskets, needles, and floaters. Everything else I re used.
My original floaters were nowhere near 7/16 - 15/16 heights so I removed them and set them aside. I adjusted the new floaters to the 7/16 - 15/16 height. Cleaned everything with degreaser and water then blew with a keyboard compressed air can (not sure if this is strong enough)
After assembly and installation, my idle mixture screws have no effect when adjusting them while the engine is on. There is also a hole on the passenger side of the carb under where the electric choke goes. This hole sucks air while engine is on and leaks gas while engine is off.
So after all this, the carb does an awkward sound from time to time (maybe every 5-10 seconds) and i can't get the mixture screws to adjust. Also the driver side jet seems to be dumping little to no gas. Does the floaters have anything to do with it? Is the vacuum sucking hole normal?
Thanks fellas.
