Finally a HUSKER again
Well I did some tuneing on the Demon this noon. First off, my secondary float was high, Like almost a full turn to get it back down to where is should be. 2nd, I had the idle adjustments off, and 3rd Ill have to set the timing down a smidge, it did a very slight diesel 1 time when I shut it down. I think Im at 34* now, Ill take it down to 32 or so and see how it acts.

I did notice the 408 never really reacted when I turned the idle screwes inn. Shouldnt it almost die whe the screwes are turned inn?

Could this mean my idle it soo high?

I'd probably turn the screws all the way in then back out 1.25 turns, then fire it up to 2400rpm set your timing, then back it down to 8-900 and set your mixtures and go from there. 34* seems like it would be low enough

Yes it should die when 1 is turned in, sounds like the transfer slots are too exsposed & its entering the main metering, in any case its getting too much fuel at "idle".

set the transfer slots for both pri and secondary then start the engine. to adjust idle rpm, use your timing and not the screw on the side to raise and lower your idle rpm. adjust AF screws. readjust timing. recurve dist. done

if you have a msd dist, i dont think you can recurve easy like a mopar one because they suck

MSD dist. suck , Don't know which one you say is hard to dial in . I loved mine on my SB, i'll NEVER use a MP dizzy again, there a big PITA IMO with sloppy shafts too boot.

This is the one i use & its simple/simple/simple, just need an aftermarket box, but who cares everyone gets them anyways, The MP boxes suck, at least the orange units.

Square up the transfer slots on the primaries, even if its 4 corner idle the rear ones sit higher on the base, so you may never exspose them unless you open the butterflies more then the primaries, so start off with squareing up the front slots, then find out how far you needed to turn on the throttle screw to reach it, then open up the secondaries as much as the front, so if your primary throttle screw is 1.1/2 turns from fully seated, then set the back at 1.1/2 turns, then set all mix screws at 1.1/4 open, fire it up, make sure float level is good, set timing for highest manifold vacuum, then tailer in the mix screws & throttle shafts to obtain the best idle & the RPM where you want it. Hope this makes sence.

make sure the secondary idle is closed or it will pull fuel from there and the mixture screws will not kill the engine.

Well I did all that and the idle screws are only about 1/4 to 1/2 out, and it dosnt die with them screwed inn. Do i need different idle air bleeds?

Did you have the transfer slots squared before you
tried to turn in the mixture screws... if they were
open to much you werent on the idle circuit

yes, I turned the carb over, squared up the slots, was pretty close to closed, wasnt opened very far at all, and I tuned it from there. still didnt die out after screwing them inn.

Pull the mixture screws and blow out the ports with
a air nozzle/blow gun then try it again

fuel is getting in the motor from somewhere. if it was me, i would take the carb off, completely drain it and blow air into the little hole under the throttle blades and see if you feel air comming out the airbleeds with the mixture screw all the way in or its getting alot of fuel out of the transfer slot.

check to make sure you dont have a blown PV also

I had similar issues with my 750 mighty demon with "idle-Eze". 1. Try dropping the float levels a little more. 2. Make sure the idle air bleeds ( outers ) are the correct size. Mine were supposed to be .070" per the spec. Actually mic'ed .067". When I corrected that, I could kill the motor ( barely ) when I turned the mixture screws all the way in. Idled best with the mixture screws 1/2 turn out. BTW, you only want to "square" the transfer slots on the primary side. Secondary butterflies should be set to the bottom of the transfer slots ( not visible from the underside at idle. If you have "idle-eze", base line it at 1 1/2 turns out.

Ill do that again. I have a new PV inn it. Ill check to make sure they are clear.

Ive done this, and also have 70s on the idle air bleeds.

The screws are about 1/2 out now but wont kill it off. Heres a thought just popped inn my head. Is it suposed to die individually, or when all of them are screwed all the way inn.

Hey Casey
Does it have a idle speed screw on the back throttle shaft, most 4150's dont but some HP series do. Some you can adjust with the carb off on the bottom side of the base with a small set screw. You can turn it in a 1/2 turn or so. This will help give the engine some extra air without being so much in the front transfer slots. Thats why you see lots of old holley out there at the swap meets that have holes drilled in the butter flies. If you dont care to do this, this still might be a option, you can get replacement butter flies cheap if you want to go back so..
Make sure the floats are close, back the idle speed screw all the way out, then turn the idle mixture screws out about 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 turns from a light seat. This is probably hair fat but should provide a base line to adjust from. Turn the idle speed screw in to it just touches the cam, then turn in 1/2 turn see if it will idle, if it wont turn it in another 1/4 turn and try again.

There isnt a screw on the back throttle blades, but there id a stop. I was thinking I may tweek that stop and get the rears to open a bit more.

Kasey, what carb do you have? I have a Quick Fuel Q-750 that I had to drill the primaries to clean up the idle. I tried larger idle air bleeds, adjusting the idle screw on the secondaries and timing, but the thing that helped the most was drilling holes in the primaries. I'd only do this as a last resort.

BTW, in my experience if the secondary idle is opened to far the engine will surge at cruise speed.

You should be able to kill it with one air mixture screw.
