I am trying to determine if my edelbrock performer carb is plugged up. I have broken in my engine finally so was able to actually step on the gas pedal a good bit to see how the engine would perform after the rebuild. When I stepped on it the car did ok but it didn’t seem like the engine was getting enough gas. My main question is….when the engine is not running, should I be able to see gas flow out of the top jets in the 3rd and 4th barrel? I did not see any when I pushed the throttle all the way back. I believe I read that the little butterfly valves had to be all the way open for gas to flow out so I opened them with a screwdriver and pushed the throttle back and still did not see gas.

Thanks for any opinion.
