Sounds to me like a textbook tired accelerator pump.

Easy fix really.

I have a Edelbrock 1406 600cfm waiting in the wings,

your thoughts (on a stock 350) fix or replace ?

one better than the other?

thx, Vic

Use the Edelbrock to keep the papers from blowing off your desk.

In my personal opinion, the Rochester is a superior carburetor for that mouse.

The Edelbrock is great for a car.

Not to great on a jet boat motor.
