I'm having alittle trouble getting my dual carbs dialed in, the 1st is rich, and the second is lean. My fuel pump was putting out 3.5psi, but the guy I bought my carbs from said I should run 2.6psi instead. What do you guys think?
I've got 60 idle jets and 180 mains, which I thought was overkill, until he told me that I should run 2.6 instead of 3.5 psi. |

I ran 3.5 PSI with my four cylinder engines and about 4 PSI with the six cylinder. Before you do anything, get a flow meter to see if flow in each barrel is the same. Adjust the carbs so that they are all 4 the same flow. If one side is rich and the other is lean with the same jetting then it could be float levels as raising the float can make the mixture rich and visa-versa. Raising the fuel pressure is the same, makes it richer, etc.
