Carb Adjustment

So I've been searching around the net and I've found some articles and suggestions on how to adjust an Edelbrock 650 but they're all slightly different. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Re: Carb Adjustment

It's running rich, you can smell the heavy exhaust but no black or white smoke.

Re: Carb Adjustment

Is it a THUNDER AVS? The performers only come in 600 and 750. There might some confusion if you are using avs info to tune a performer although I'd think the process is the same.

Re: Carb Adjustment

Edelbrock has lots of video's on youtube just have find right one you need.


It could possibly just need a float adjustment.
