Don`t let some of the people here get to you. I think some of their goals are to piss as many people off as they can. I usually just ignore them. Great advise! I'll use it from now on. Shame on them! Oops... from now on. (LOL)Thanks for your support!

Youre entirely over reacting to a factual post....I was not trying to make you look stupid and any other goal....I truely didn't see the usefulness in calling them.

Just the same, I didn't see the usefulness of your comment. No matter how you slice it, you didn't help me nor anyone else who might be trying to learn from the other wonderful members. Your comment was absolutely uncalled for. Gee, um, Edelbrock made the carburetor, maybe they'd know how to address the situation if cleaning it fails to correct the issue, or maybe they will think that I am over reacting. BTW... I'm not stupid. I have an IQ of 823! Oh wait! That's my credit score. Oh well. I'm over it now, and I apologized for some of the words that I used due to my exasperation.

Meanwhile, did you get the carb fixed?

Just blasting carb cleaner thru the idle screw rarely fixes anything in my experience. You implied thats all you were gonna do before you called them...I was implying that you need to take it apart, not just blast it, before you called. How is this not helpful? Please quit reading between the lines for an ulterior motive that isnt there.

I have fixed several no idle/poor idle situations with a healthy 2 or 3 second blast into those idle ports, Eddys tho if that makes a difference as that is all I have worked on. Hooligan I am with you on this rudeness issue as there are several people who go to far with it (& the mods should be stepping in) as opposed to offering solutions which is what we are here for. It does force a person to develop thick skin/set boundaries when needed. I will say tho that the bennie far outweighs the bad as the collective knowledge/experience here on Moparts is astronomical

Hooligan I am with you on this rudeness issue as there are several people who go to far with it (& the mods should be stepping in) as opposed to offering solutions which is what we are here for. It does force a person to develop thick skin/set boundaries when needed. I will say tho that the bennie far outweighs the bad as the collective knowledge/experience here on Moparts is astronomical Reply (Part 1) Sorry for the disappearing act everyone. My mother was rushed to the hospital, and she is going to be fine. More good news is that my carburetor issue has been solved, and the fix is something that other members can possibly use. (Part 2) Rapid Robert, You are GREAT! Your reply was up-lifting and I really appreciate your help on my mixture screw problem, and your support on the rudeness issue on Moparts. Even though there are some "bad apples" among us, you are right in that Moparts is still a great place to enjoy our hobby. Thank you and all the other"good apples" who replied to my post. (Part3) When I returned from the hospital, I decided to call Edelbrock before I disassembled the carb. That decision turned out to be a good one because it saved me time. The tech guy said that only 2 things can cause that condition. (#1) A blocked air bleed, which requires blasting out the passages, as Rapid Robert suggested. (#2) A float level that is too high. He told me to start the car and look to see if any fuel was dripping from the venturi on that side. Indeed, that was the case with my carb, and the extra fuel is what keeps the mixture screw adjustment from having an effect on the engine's idle. So, I disassembled that carb to find that it was squeaky clean inside. I blasted both air bleeds to make sure they were clear, and I set the float level to the correct height. That solved the problem, and now the car is problem free for the time being. (He said with his fingers crossed) (Part 4) Thank goodness that I didn't listen to Moparts member "HemiRick" He said that he truly didn't see the usefulness in calling Edelbrock. Well, he was wrong! He still contends that his snarky comment was him trying to help me. (Sorry, I'm not buying it. Additionally, my apology to him was ignored, so I hope he doesn't "TRY TO HELP ME" in the future. (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! Thanks again to everyone who wrote sincere replies! The drama reared its ugly head, but in the end... Hooligan shoots! He SCORRRRRRRRRES!!!!!!!!

calling them is not gonna take the carb apart and clean it..... Could have sworn this is what Edelbrock suggested.
