Edelbrock 1406 problems - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hi folks:

I have a remanufactured Edelbrock 1406. It is replacing a worn out 1405. I did the swap, and now I have to have the pedal to the floor for it to even idle. I have checked for vacuum leaks, and I have the choke hooked up to a switched 12V source. I dont know what the problem could be.

I sent an email to Edelbrock today, and hopefully they will have a solution.

Let me know any ideas you have.

Thanks

James

Could this be a symptom of a float that is not set correctly? Maybe too low?

Gimme some ideas.

Can actually see that the choke is operating? does the choke plate it'self ever open up?

isnt 1405 a 600 and 1406 a 750? whats the diff. is it choke/no choke? i thought it same same carbs but one without choke assembly.

1405 is manual choke and 1406 is electric I believe...both are 600 i think too

Sounds like improper float levels to me.
