exactly so the 800 cfm is just way too big. I may just buy the new one and sell the used one. I'd like it to be more of a plug and play with no issues this summer.
the current carb sounds like the idle circuit is plugged and you are only running off the main jets
Could be. It's an oversized automotive carb so I'm not sticking with it. I just want to slap the right carb on there, adjust and go boating which is why I'm leaning to just buy the new 1409
More than likely there was something wrong with the old carb. Sounds like if it wont idle idle passages are clogged or set too lean. at 1000 rpms you are into the transition circuit which supplies gas between when throttle gets past the idle ciruit and the boosters haven't taken over yet (around 2000 rpm).
I wonder why they'd supply a 750 on a motor that only needs 440 cfm? Either way the 1409 sounds like the way to go? I'm not sure if this guy will even stand by his word, whether it's the stock carb or not.... He's lied about a few things already so I thinking I'll just order the new one and see what he sends me. I can rebuild that and sell it to recoup some of the cost. That way I know I have a brand new carb ready to go. Considering the circumstances do you agree that's the way to go?
Oh yeah it would seem he is full of chit. Unless it was a 2bbl carb then going to 4 bbl yes would expect more power. See what he gives you and go from there. if it is a q jet that is unmolested core then you have something.
I thought it the 1409 was a plug and play for this motor. Why wouldn't it reach?
Ayuh,...... Ya need the Merc throttle cable bracket for Merc's Weber/ AFB carb,.....
Beauty!
ok so maybe I'll keep one of them, I may need extra gaskets then that won't come with the carb. Also I've read that there should be a wedge spacer to level out the carb. Is this something that I absolutely need?
Ok sounds i just need to get the right mounting studs as they've put like 5 inches of spacers in there. Anyone know the size I need?
