I upgraded my fuel system a couple weeks ago. I left the 950 carb on it and went to T&T week before last. It ran well,I drove it to track and back home. I made 4 passes it did not hook on the firs 2 at all. They finally sprayed the track and the next 2 passes it dead hooked and ran 2 6.30's, so the fuel system seems okay. I put my 1050 dom. on it Thurs. and it will not run unless you constantly pump the gas. I took the front metering block and bowl off and blowed with compressed air through all the holes in the block.I did not find any trash in it nowhere.I put it back together and it still will not run. The fuel is at the bottom of the sight plug. Can anybody tell me what I can do next? Thanks for any help.

How are the mixture screws adjusted .. that is the idle
part of it... make sure the blades arent open to far

They were out 2 turns and I tried them at 1 1/2. Still no difference.

Make sure the blades arent opened to far... if they
are you wont be on the idle circuit and the mixture
screws wont react

Pull the carb off.. flip it over and look at the transfer
slot.. it should look like a square hole when set
right..thats the narrow slot thats vertical in the
center of the bores on the opening side of the blades

Mr. P are you talking about the front throttle blades? I went outside and turned the idle screw down some and it did not change. It will not even stay running after it starts if you hold the throttle part of the way down.

Make sure the rear blades arent open to far either..
a 1050 is basically 2 2 bbl carbs... you have mixture
screws on front and back.. if the rear blades are
open too much that side wont work right and be a major
vac leak

Make sure you use Dominator fuel bowl and metering block gaskets. There are extra holes.


If the MODS did their job I would not be hitting the notify MOD button. LOL

I took the carb off and looked and there was no transfer slot showing at all on the back. Do I set the slots square on the back then put it back on and see if that helps?

Set them squared up and put it back on.. try the mixture
screws at 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 turns out then adjust from there

I set the transfer slots square and set the idle mixture at 1 1/4 out. It cranks right up but will not run under about 3500 rpm unless you pump the gas.

You have an idle circuit issue. I am assuming this is a 3 circuit carb. If you used a set if 2 circuit gaskets it will block off the idle feeds, etc. make sure that the gasket has 4 holes at the top on each side. One big and three little.

It says 6980 3 on the metering blocks.

I never thought about the wrong gaskets being on it
