how good is it? worth the amount of money? noticable power increase?

 

i also heard that their is just one screw that u turn and it makes it either leaner or richer. is that true? Please help!

 

I ran one for a while. Top end power was FURIOUS, but it had a bog off the bottom that I just couldn't tune out. Finally, it bogged on a takeoff ramp, and I came up short on a pretty good size double jump. Finally, I pulled it off and went back to the stocker.

You tune by changing needles, and raising and lowering the needle using a screw driver.

 

i guess my neighbor was just messin with me, he told me that the edelbrock carb only has one screw that either makes it richer or leaner. I didnt really believe him at first, but i thought it might of been possible

 

It does only have the one screw, which is very easy to adjust (even out on the trail). No jets to change. Each needle covers quite a wide range, so the stock one works for most applications.

 

the only adjustments on the carb are the needle and a single screw. how do you know what one to mess with. when do you mess with the needle and when do you mess with the screw. you just move the needle up or down.

 

??

 

can anybody help??

 

You would change the needle to make LARGE adjustments in the mixture, like if you made some major mods to the air intake or exhaust. The needle height, is then used to make the FINE adjustments. The needle height adjustment is a nice system. You ride it, and do the adjustment out on the trail according to how the machine is performing.

Like I said, I gained a lot of top end, but was unable to get the fine tuning for that bog off the bottom.

 

reconranger, what kind of quad did that happen to you on?
