Default Carb Help...

Specifics: New Edelbrock 750 with electric choke on a 383. Engine has 500 miles.

Issue: Car runs fine and idles fine when cold. No issues when adjusting the mixtures on the carb to get a smooth running car.

After 15 min of running, car idle fluctuates, and adjusting the mixtures and no effect on the cars idle. Car stalls and RPMS fluctuates between 600-1000 RPMs.

Appreciate the help!

Jerry

if you hooked the egr back up, un hook it and plug the hose
then check your choke if electric, it may be staying closed
then take your air cleaner off and look down in the carb. throat and see if its spilling extra gas into it, you may have a float to high or sticking and when its cold the extra fuel isnt apparent, but when its warm , its to much
then get some WD40 and gently spray around the carb. looking for a vacuum leak
then call edelbrocks tech line, its excellent
hope this helps

Thanks for the help! I think it may have been my electric choke. Screws were lose and it was wide open. Time ran out today so more to follow tomorrow.
