Alright first off I have an 84 k10 350 sm465 edelbrock 1406.
Last weekend I took my truck out for wood. We went to some mountains near bye. One we get to the mountains, the truck starts running rough and I see white exhaust smoke, I know white smoke means water, but wouldn't I be burning water all the time........ So we managed to bring a load home in that condition. I noticed once we got down the mountain the truck starts running fine.
So this has me thinking its elevation causing my problems.
Well I started my truck here at home a few days ago and a few seconds after I start it, it starts running rough again, nearly dieing. So yesterday I replaced my fuel filter and opened up my carb. I cleaned the float area and the jets with carb cleaner. I noticed one of the main jets was sorta clogged. I made sure the floats were near 7/16" like the manual says it should.
So I took it for a drive right after and it ran perfect. No problems. Well today I turned it on and it's back to the same old crap, it seems like the idle screws arn't changing anything when they're turned, oddly enough the idle goes high when the screws are screwed in all the way. I'm stumped......not sure what else to try other than getting different jets.....
I apologize for the novel but I really need help. Trying to avoid taking it in to a local mechanic.
The following is the fuel filter I have on at this moment
