has anyone heard of putting a 1407 squirter (35) and the secondary air valve in a 1405 carb to help with a bog on instant mash of pedal? my 1405 has a 28 in it would just putting the 35 help?

 

99.9% of the time with the webber/carter afb/edelbrock carbs the bog has NOTHING to do with the squirter size or air valve.

It's the step up springs, and pump linkage rod adjustment.

 

+1 I'm with knight rider 327,I have ran Edelbrock for years,step up springs or pump rod adjustment usually cures the bog situation.its worth investing in the calibration kit Edelbrock offers also download the owners manual for the carburetor if you have not done already.That is a big key to making the Edelbrock work

 

I have tried step up springs and rod in top and bottom hole. it still bogs then takes off

 

If you have done the springs and accelerator pump holes there is also the possibility of timing,Edelbrock carburetors like to have timing.try to advance the timing to 8 degrees intial.you still may need more timing than that and may still have to play with the springs and pump slot.At this point I might play with my timing

 

ive messed with timing got that dialed in where car likes it. would going to a 35 squirter from a 28 hurt?

 

he pink spring in it now, I might try the orange as i see a lot of people say that running orange

 

Give it a try the worst that happens is it runs super rich and does the same thing.

 

I had a problem with the edelbrock and bog, till I leaned out the carb, for Colorado,and now no issue at all.
