hard core.carb was came with engine.never fireed.b-1 ill go back and reset 15-20. You didn't buy the CARB directly from Dominic...HIS SERVICE DOESN'T TRANSLATE TO YOU DON'T BASH HIM, YOU HAVE NO RIGHT. Your issue is directly between you and the guy you purchased the engine from. This is absurd to even have to explain it.

car nut.thumper built the carb.why was the bleeds put in the wrong place.the motor was built correctly.next thing is should i put everything back the way it was.i didnt mention during the week i change the valve lash from 15 int,20 exhaust to 25 straight up.and that didnt fix it.but i might go change that.i dont feel i should go back in and change it back to 4 degree advanced.all that does is change the power band.should i put the power valve back in carb.i did plug it.do i put rivets in the throttle blades where i drilled them.it idles ok How can idle bleeds be put in the wrong place? More explanation of what you found and how you changed it is needed. Could the engine builder have made changes after receiving the carb from Thumper? Could the carb have actually been ordered for a very different engine and found its way onto yours?

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

Im not from Missouri but lived in Kansas for years so changing air bleeds a few thou fixed it, you are gonna have show me..If HS and idle were swapped which I doubt Dom would do as that's a pretty rookie mistake I still cant see it causing the issue. But hey what do I l know but would have to see it with my own eyes to believe it.

But hey what do I l know but would have to see it with my own eyes to believe it. Agreed, and if so wouldn't idle mixture screws still function? (and if they didn't wouldn't you start there?)

But hey what do I l know but would have to see it with my own eyes to believe it. This. I'm betting it was a carb baseplate gasket and air bleeds. But you still can't dump this on Dom. I looked at that carb and it doesn't look like the ones he builds. He may have "rebuilt " it. He gives his time freely whenever you call him. Like most have posted glad you got it figured out.

IF Dom touched it, it would have his stickers on the bowls. THAT carb, is NOT one of Dom's carbs that he builds.

Looking at the pics. It doesn't look like it has billet base plate just billet metering blocks. Hard to tell.
Dom won't work on carbs with cast base plate. I think he uses all BLP parts for his builds.
No sticker either.
Correct. All his builds use BLP parts, and Superformance gaskets. If that carb was done years ago, there is no telling how many times it's been "tweeked" by someone else...

[quote=RTSE4ME]... there is no telling how many times it's been "tweeked" by someone else... That was my first thought but even if it had undamaged tamper tags on it, this guy didn't buy it from Dominic. So many scenarios could have happened i.e.-What if the guy who bought it from Dominic 'did him wrong' in some way. I guess I'm going thru the trouble to engage this to undo some of the character assassination AND to offer the OP another course of thinking. It'd probably do him well to rethink his words and actions if he's looking for additional tech advice here or even friendly assistance at the track.

I'm glad you said this and it took everything I had to not let this monkey have it but what a crock about blaming me for anything carb related. I really appreciate you guys sticking up for me and if I could say what I felt I would but ether way this fool has no right even owning anything performance oriented and I'm sorry this even went here....And to the OP (whatever your name is) at least learn how to type in proper sentences that look proper or even make any sense....
