E-carbs are avoided, here, like the plague, or maybe the virus....
What you've got is nothing new or surprising from one of those carbs
Hot Rod magazine had a monthly article, they'd take your car, and repair it, regardless of what the problem. A pretty cool thing!!!
They took in an early Chevy II, had a 250 6 banger in it. Had been hopped up, some. It had an E carb on it. They performed many fixes to the engine. The E-carb, customer installed for quite a while, took a BUNCH of modifications to make to run...fair...they looked at the squirter (accelerator pump discharge nozzle). Only one side had been completely drilled through...LMAO...fixing that helped a bunch more.

It's a shame they threw away the better carb............
