Was going through my carb today and noticed my floats hang at different heights, yet they sit the same 7/16 when their depressed, just wondering if I need to care, or if this may hurt economy, the other pic is just what my carb has in it, feel free to comment if any of it makes sence to you, thanks

Your last pic is float drop. It needs to be set at 1" so that is definitely wrong. There is a tab at the back of the float where it attaches to the carb that needs to be bent to set float drop. And can someone get honky dick to shut the **** up about every edelbrock carb post he sees? It's not at all helpful all the time telling people to trash it. If that's all they got help them fix it for ****'s sake.

I was tempted to do that but I wasnt sure if it was going to affect anything else first, figured I'd check

That was my point I just figured there was no information out there on them, so trashing it would be the sensible thing to do.

Well **** Donkey ****.. I figured since the eddyturd is so popular and information is so readily available, that EVERYBODY knows everything about them, when an eddyturd starts having problems, the best thing to do IS shitcan it..

Why is it you guys can bash F**ds all day long and never get a rise out of anybody.. But let somebody bash an eddyturd, and the temperatures rise??? The problem I see here is a third party got upset when the second party didn't spoon feed the information to the first party.. You GO Honky.. Keep spreading the word.... :driver::driver:
