They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

Me I like em as my eyesight is fading but I gotta go with the flow No problem. I will lay off the caps, but instead I will press very hard on the keys. I guess I can omit the exclamation points too, so I keep under the Texas radar system.

How is the carburetor doing? Crap! I fell asleep. No progress will happen until I buy some brake kleen tomorrow. Unless my neighbor has some in his garage, in which case, I have to wait for him to fall asleep so I can steal it. Hah!

any type of spray cleaner with the thin red straw will work to get up into that port. BK or starting fluid, anything along those lines

By this time tomorrow, my idle circuit will be fresh and clean at the very least. If that doesn't solve the problem, I'll call Edelbrock on Monday. I'm sure they are just sitting around doing nothing.

calling them is not gonna take the carb apart and clean it..... Thanks for that observation. Actually, the phone call comes after the cleaning. It shouldn't be filthy inside since everything is brand new with under 100 miles on a newly rebuilt engine that is running great so far. New carb, new gas tank, new fuel lines, new fuel pump, and a new fuel filter. Not to say that some debris didn't get in the system during assembly, but we're not talking about a car that sat around without running for several years. It doesn't hurt to ask for their opinion, because they may have seen this problem before.

calling them is not gonna take the carb apart and clean it..... What I really wanted to say to Hemi Rick is... "I can't believe you logged in to Moparts to say that unnecessary comment to me." "Please forgave me, but I thought Moparts was for promoting friendship and unity among Mopar enthusiasts, sharing knowledge, and having some fun!" "Some of us are trying to help each other get more Mopars back on the road." "I'm sorry if maybe your dog took a dump inside one of your shoes and caused you to have a negative attitude, but I don't think that your kind of commentary in this case, which you are trying to make me look stupid, has any place in Moparts." "Several members use this type of behavior, and cause fights." "It's very saddening to read things like that." "If you can't say something friendly and helpful to others, then please don't say anything at all." "Thank you to everyone else for your help and friendship!" ...and to anyone who has pets, remember to check your shoes before logging on!"
