I take any new carb apart and clean it before I put it on anything. Have seen trash and mismatched jets in all of them from Holley', BG's, Quickfuel and E carbs. These carbs get a bad rap but I think allot of time it's the tuning. These carbs are sensitive to fuel pressure. I only run 5lbs. They are probably one of the easiest carbs to tune.

Yup. You have to check EVERYTHING, period.

I fixed a E carb, it too had trash in it and some casting flash that needed doctoring, but did get it to run well. I've run AFBs before, like them, but usually stick to Holleys.

There's something about the E carb secondaries that leaves something to be desired, but can't recall at the moment. I think in general they do get a bad rap they don't deserve.

Should be no reason why you can't go thru it and make it run acceptably well.
