I have recently replaced my tired truck carb with a rebuilt from a good source rebushed shfts, resurfaced baseplate etc.
The problem I have is, just off idle it will bog down a little bit then then once I accel. a little more it will clear up and be fine(rich condition?). Idle is great, WOT is great with the exception of an occasional hiccup that seems to be fuel starvation. (new pump?) This is a 64000 mile motor could the pump be worn enough to cause problems with the carb?? or does anyone know of a way to adjust the off-idle on my carb? I am waiting for a reply from the remanufacturer

sounds like the accelerator pump on the carb is out of adjustment, what kind of carb is it?

If it stumbles at the hit, it could be the accelerator pump. It could be engine timing too. If it surges off idle, it could be float levels. More than likely, you need to balance the idle and cruise circuits. Get a vacum gauge and set the carb up right. You may have to play with the jets and metering rods to get it right, but it will be well worth it in the end.

I picked up a lot of power by removing a 750CFM Holley and replacing it with a 600 CFM Edelbrock on my 440. It took a while to tune it, but it has a lot more power (and better mileage) now that the carb is tuned to what the motor wants, not what the carb was made for.

It is from an 85-87 dodge truck, light duty version
