Here is what I did , it runs and there is no stumble off of idle , at all , this worked for me.

Drilled out the accelerator nozzles to .045 (went to .041 first)

Installed the .113 primary jets

Installed the .073 X .037 metering rods

Installed the stiffest metering springs

Did you ever check the fuel level in the bowls?
I did the same thing you did, made the carb "work" with what should be a really rich setup. Then I adjusted the float level for more fuel in the bowls and had to back those changes out because the carb was too rich.

its all good now but I'm wondering if drilling the nozzles is what did the trick

This is close to where I am at so I hope it runs once I finally get going.
Can you give a brief description of your motor specs/parts as it would help..

I changed the rods (smallest diameter that I had first and no change or big change that I could notice

I drilled out the nozzles to .041 next and that made a difference

I changed the springs to the weakest springs , made it worse (I guess that seemed to hold them down in the jets longer so maybe a lean condition

I change back to the strongest springs and that was better

I drilled out the nozzles to .045 and that helped a lot

I ordered a marine accelerator pump as I read where that makes a difference p/n is 1468 but it is still on the way here and I have not installed it

I guess it was a all around lean condition , the floats were fine and were at 7/16

The engine is a 440 , edelbrock intake and 1411 carburetor , cam is suppose to be a mild cam , I bought it this way so I have no idea what it is the engine.

I put a quick fix on my stroker 500", edelbrock 800 carbed, 400 bb, by stretching the springs about 1/8". It helped lift the rods enough to lose the flat spot. I had tried all the pump settings beforehand.

I tried everything previously mentioned (except streach the springs) and I could not get rid of the off-idle dead spot. I even tried a new 800cfm after giving ip on the 750cfm. I also have a low vacuum cam that makes it worse in my 440. The only fix for mine was a different brand carb.

Occasionally the idle circuit will not feed enough fuel depending on the combo. Opening the idle feed tubes will usually fix it.

Anyone looking to part with one of these troublesome 750 cfm devices drop me a PM. I'll install it on my Duster which has wide band and have a look see.

I am with you and mine may be for sale. Just instralled nue acc. pump and the 43 squirter to no avail. Either the butterflies/weights are not kicking in the secondaries soon enough, or there is another issue. I actually need to peer in and make sure not a mechanical issue there restricting the opening. They eventually open, jsut not right away..

I have read where the marine accelerator pump works better as the spring is stronger and will push more gas out of the nozzles without collapsing the stock spring , never tried it though , the part number is Edelbrock 1468 , mine is working a lot better now , virtually no hesitation of idle.

I have finally ended up with one of these notorious carbs, never had any problems with the 600 and 800's that a little tuning did not straighten out.... till now. I acquired a brand new 1411 for free. I put it on a mild 440, 240@50 cam, Holley SD intake and proceeded to tune. Big off line stumble, the distributor needed more initial and a curve anyway, so I bought the plate kit from FBO that allows you to limit total timing in the older MP dist, without having to play the braze up the slot and file game. This thing is great and this particular engine is very happy with 20* initial, 34 total, and using the vac advance adjusted to add 10 at idle on the full time vac port as recommended by FBO. Before I got the plate , I had tried the .043 squirter,HP orange(marine) acc pump plunger, and played with the jet metering rod combos until its infamous off line bog was almost gone, but not quite! Getting all of the timing issues squared away finished it off and made the car a joy to drive under all conditions but one. If you are at a complete stop and floor the throttle, it literally dies! You can hit the throttle briskly and smoke the tires, ease into the throttle and spin tires, but if you mat it, it dies! Pump is at max shot, passages are clear, and it will die every time if you mat it from a standing start, if you are already moving, no problem! it is like it is going massively lean. The floats are perfect, I am frustrated as the devil! I can put the tuned 1406 6oo cfm carb on it and it will come off the line sideways, same with my 800 performer, but that ****###@@ 750 has me stumped. It works great except that one situation. No bog in any other form of accelerating, just full bore from a standing start! Any ideas on this one??? Lee.

Just use the google search on top of the Moparts page and enjoy all the lovely threads on the 1407/1411 off idle stumble , and then sit back for a month reading all 10,000 threads on how to fix it

Do you own a drill , a reciprocating saw , hammer , open wallet , and have unlimited time on your hands ???

Perfect , then the 1407/1411 is the carb for you

LOL

Have ANY of you ever tried drilling the idle feed tube, changing air bleed size? Or is it easier to give up and complain? People will change metering blocks, air bleeds, squirters, squirter cams in Holleys till they turn blue. Heaven forbid you try something on a Edelbrock besides squirters, springs, rods or jets. Think outside the box. If it's lean, richen it up. It's still just a carb. Is it a full race Holley, absolutely not. Can they be a decent carb, yes.

iagree It's not rocket science. Look into almost all NSS cars and this is the carb they run and do not have these issues that every one is complaining about. I actually tried the 800's for the last 2 years and then decided to go back to the 750's as my 60 ft times were better and so was my ET. Had a small bog at first and lightened up the rear air doors and the bog is gone.

I didn't realize the NSS cars leave the line "OFF IDLE"

Thanx for clarifying that

LOL
Anyways

I tried drilling the idle tubes on my 1407 - Didn't work or help or change anything

On the street , daily driver , "OFF IDLE" the Edelbrock 800 series AVS is 1,0000 times better the carb

This is mine to a tee. But mine dies flat from stop or while moving, then kicks in hard. A little scary as it breaks loose and gets a little wild. Probably won't address it til springtime.

Many do. Mine will, but for reaction time I leave higher.
