What would you pay for a leaking carb.

For a stock or near stock car they cant be beat.

 

.............

Yeah it is a good carb and sad to say even if it leaks because it is a 1407 you can sell it on ebay for atleast $50


.....seems like there was a post pertaining to something on carburetors a month or two ago......

 

Id use a Edelbrock on a driver any day.

Brother bought a factory rebuilt one for the 390 I built years ago. It ran better out of the box than the Holley I had on it.

Now for racing purposes Id still rather have a Holley

 

It could also be leaking due to a bad needle and seat or improperly adjusted float.

How much did you end up paying for it?

 

Nothing yet, im still hanging on to it

 

I got a carb too.

 

Looks like a typical Edelbrock.... now if it was on the motor and we could see where it was wet, we might could help you. lol

 

Im sick of switching carbs and having failure i might just switch the baseplate on the 750 holley to a 650

 

Why is the carb you have no not working correctly?

it may be over carbed, but should atleast run decent

 

I replaced all the gaskets yesterday but apariently i need the accelerator pump gasket too that i replaced 3 months ago! this was on the 650 holley


The 750 holley doesnt leak at all so i might just switch the baseplates to make it a 650.

 

You might surprise yourself... try the 750 for a while and see how you like it.

 

Ive been running it for the last 2 months when the 650 crapped the bed.

I dont like it, it boggs and i dont go anywhere fast. Gas milage is also a problem with 13mpg. 750 is not where i want to be but its all i have right now that doesnt leak

 

Ok, gotcha.

be careful swapping the baseplates. Id try to get your leaky edelbrock going also
