Metering Rod Removal
If you haven’t started already, it’s almost time to remove your car covers, dust off your hot rod, and get it ready for car shows, cruising and racing. Spring is rapidly approaching. Two things really tip us off when our car-loving faithfuls begin the annual process of “getting their car ready”; 1. the clocks change, and 2. our tech-line lights up like the Christmas tree at a drag strip. Edelbrock tech lines are flooded (no pun intended) with modders asking basic questions on how to get their Edelbrock Carburetor to function flawlessly.
In a day and age where information travels at the speed of light, Edelbrock offers several great resources that will educate the average car guy or gal on “everything Edelbrock” when it comes to carburetion – including Carburetor Installation instruction sheets, troubleshooting and tuning. Resources such as carburetor FAQ’s, installation instructions, tech discussion, carb Owners Manual, and videos are available at a click of the mouse. Below, we will delve into specific situations such as hesitation and stumbling, off-idle surging and poor performance. And for those of you who need to reach an Edelbrock Tech on the good old phone, we’re here M-F (7am – 5pm, PST) 800-416-8628.
