Edelbrock 1409 Calibration

[dkellogg3]

Hey all, quick question about the Edlebrock 1409.

1994 Bayliner Carpri 2050LS
Merc 4.3LX - Alpha One Gen 2
Weber 4 barrel w/ divorced choke

So, the Edelbrock 1409 comes with the following:

Metering Jets - Primary .098, Secondary .101; Metering Rods - .068 x .047; Step-Up Spring - orange (5" Hg).

Merc manual #18 says:
Primary: 0.089, Secondary: 0.089, Metering rods: just a part no, Metering Rod Spring Color: Yellow

I'm assuming I'll need to get the Calibration kit 1485 and it will have the appropriate parts, but then thought about the old saying about making ASSumptions...

So, questions for you all....

1. Is the merc manifold equivalent to the 2111 or 2114?
2. Use merc-spec'd jets - 0.089?
2. The meterig rod inthe kit is 0.068 x 0.057.. is that the right one?
3. Shouls I use the Merc spec'd yellow sping? In the kit?

Thanks!
Don

THanks in advance

Ayuh,.... Donno, exactly, 'n don't remember the numbers, but My Merc carb was Severely Rich, especially at idle...

I bought the Kit, 'n retuned the factory settings,....

Bolt it on, 'n Try it,... The spark plug color, 'n runability will tell ya if things need Changin'...

Naw,... The Merc/ Weber 4bbl. is a carbon copy of the Edlebrock,...

They're both copies of the ole Carter AFB carb...

'course, the parts are completely interchangeable, 'n Edlebrock's are cheaper, 'n easier to find...
