Well I guess Ill drill the primaries. What is a good starting point for the drill size? I have a small pinvise, and some torch cleaning drill bits, so I do have some very small drill bits.

i wouldnt drill anything yet. what exactly is the problem?

it is diesling after you shut off? to much air and fuel getting in the carb. drilling holes will make it rpm higher. you only drill holes if you have to open the throttle blades to far to get the idle rpm you desire

how is the fuel getting into the motor with the AF screws seated? this your problem. i would suspect they are not really seating. demon carbs have that funky bowl that goes over the metering block. is it stopping the AF screws from turning in all the way?

This is a quick fuel holley, not a demon. Its on my demon though .

Everything seems to be ok, and nothing seems plugged. The problem is a rich idle. Will not propperly tune inn, and wont kill off when screws are turned inn telling me Im past my idle slots.

Im very close to going nutso here. Pluss ive set every carbon menoxid detector of in the whole city block it seems like. There was 3 of them going off in the shop last night.

The last time I called QF, I got yanked around, first they told me it wasnt one of their carbs, then it was, then they couldnt help me without dyno numbers, yada, yada, yada. Ill call them again today.

Kasey, Like i was telling you as we discused, Its deiseling do to a high idle, If you feel its rich & have pin drills, start opening up the 4 outer bleeds in .003" increments, Do not drill holes in the butterflies, that is a "last" resort, I'm sure the mix screws will start responding once you open up the IABs .003", those will be the outers, I'm guessing there .070", open them to .073", I had to open mine to .075" front & .073" back with my PF 750, The quik fuel is based on that floormat, Theres something else you need to check, make damn shure the gasket on the PV is not seeping, If there is a good seal on the MB & PV gaskets there should be no fuel behind the block in the "vacuum well" when you pull it off after draining, If its puddling in that area thats your problem, there should also be no heavy puddling in the intake, Have you checked the plugs too make sure there not foiling out, This also creats havick when trying to tune the idle.

Another thing you can do IF the IABs do not respond well, i had to do this on my PF, There are IFRs in the metering blocks, they should be screw-in bleeds, you can decrease that size by .003" on each (all 4). The carb can be tuned out for a clean idle without major headaches trust me, just some patiance & a general idea of what the engines telling you. BUT 1st. Make sure the plugs are fine & the PV/Bowl gaskets aren't leaking. DO NOT drill the butterflies just yet.

if you can tell me what IFR you have in your blocks now, maybe i could trade you if i have smaller ones. they are the brass jets near the top corners

Sixpack, Ill check. I wouldnt feel rght trading you as mine is a OLD QF and I dont have billet metering blocks.

Ill check it out though.

Initial timing setting... don't care about total at this point. IMO, street cars should never be timed based solely on a total number.

If it's 34 total and 6 initial, you're not going to have much luck. Not knowing the cam, most SB mopars I've ever been around like at least 12* initial and a few were in the 24 range.

The carb is a 950hp from what QF told me. It has a 850 base plate and a 750 main body. The base plate measures slightly smaller than what an 850 should, but a lot bigger than a 750 base plate. Like I said this carb has me all confused.

Ill take it back appart and measure the meetering blocks for you guys.

A second shot of it.

There was no signt of fuel puddleing behind the metering block at all.

I bet those AF screws are not seating inside the metering block like they should

Square up the transfer slots on the primaries,




This may be a silly question, but what does this mean when you say square up the transfer slots?
How do you do this?
thanks
