Wondering if I can pick y'alls brain, on an eddy 1406.
Carb is fairly new. On top of a 440 in the D300.
Truck runs good. Starts up easy, idles good, and don't notice any bogging.
Drives good with easy throttle. Problem is, after getting on it, the carb starts to flood out, and run like crap. Then can't clear it out. Can keep her running with some throttle applied, but can smell the gas.
Try pulling her over, and clearing her out, but it doesn't happen. Can't get it back under control.
Everything else seems great, aside from the flooding. Has anyone run a fuel pressure regulator, along with their 1406? Was reading on the chevy forums, the eddy carbs are very picky about fuel pressure.
Don't believe the floats have a pin hole, and are working correctly, as she will idle all day just fine. Only after a decent shot of fuel, she can't recoup.
Looks like the fuel pump would be putting out the higher side (around 6psi, and up if it's the factory pump) of the recommended 3-6psi.
Any thoughts?
