calling them is not gonna take the carb apart and clean it..... Could have sworn this is what Edelbrock suggested. You are hilarious too! The call to Edelbrock happened today, so show me where I said that cleaning the carb was senseless! The fix came from adjusting the float to the right height as told to me by the Edelbrock tech. Not by cleaning the carb. I blasted the passages for go measure. I was the only person who talked about calling Edelbrock. I posed the question to Moparts first because it has helped me in the past.

Man you are on fire! lets do this, open the top & put the floats back to where they were (flooding) & see if the issue returns. this will tell us which one was it. the tried and true procedure of ONE change at a time. Especially cuz only ONE screw was acting up. Sorry couldn't resist! RR

Wait till his next quandary. Hooligan get a good nights' rest (you earned it) then get back after it tomorrow. put some lube on the bowl screws as they go into aluminum & need lube to preserve the threads in the bowl for after you go back in there tomorrow to reset the floats. The thread lubing is a good plan for frequent top removal for jet changes.

(Part 4) This reply is for Moparts member "Minivan". I love Clint Eastwood! I cried when they killed him in the movie, "Gran Torino". You are hilarious Minivan! You should take your humor someplace where it MIGHT be appreciated!
You mean its not appreciated on Moparts??? Oh the horror... I do want to thank you for giving the fix and how you accomplished it.. Too many people state there probs on here and than we ( the readers) never get an answer, to possibly use the fix in our endeavors...
