Replaced a Edelbrock 1806 with a Quick Fuel SS-650-AN
I did my first engine start and go kart about a year ago. I had tinkered and tinkered with the Edelbrock 1806 carb for almost a year, way too long. My last effort was to clean and reset the float levels. I have driven around the block mostly and have probably about 30 miles on the car. Was NEVER able to drive it without the engine dying when I stopped.
I gave up, bought a Quick Fuel SS-650-AN from Wayne and installed it this week after setting up the T-SLots etc. ON first start the engine sounded smoother, the choke worked flawlessly and the warm idle settled at about 1000 rpm. I drove it around the block several times today and all I can say is "Holy Crap" .
Its like a whole different engine.
I haven't even messed with the 4 corner idle air fuel mixture screws as yet, they are all still at 1 full turn out.
accelerating from stopped is smooth with no hesitation. I drove down a road nearby and wanted to try the mid level acceleration. At about 35 mph I gently pressed the gas pedal down, it JUMPED into action, pushed me against the seat and I drove home with a big smile on my face....
To say the least I am extremely happy with this setup.
