Re: 1bbl rochester adjustment?

I rebuild a 1bbl rochester for my 61 last weekend and had the same problem. It seems like the idle circuit has a hard time priming itself. What i had to do was..... 'gulp'....... keep it going with a little starting fluid. A couple of squirts (5-10 squirts) into the carb to keep it going. Ran great after that. If i was doing it again i would probably use gas and slowly inject it into the carb like i did with the starting fluid. Hope this helps.
