Brian.. The AFB/Carter/Edelbrock Carb design dose not have the problem with leaky seals as the Q jet ,, First make sure your screws are Tight... Do you have the Electric Choke set up for this Cold weather ?
Not sure where you live,, two of my chevelles have Edelbrock carbs only one has a choke.. The other one require pumping to get it going and to keep it going when it sets, or when it's Cool/Cold..
the one with the choke is not as fussy usually one of two full Pumps set's the choke and get's it to Fire ..( unless it's sat for a few weeks ).

Subject: [Chevelle-list] Edlebrock carb



Hi guys(gals), I switched from a Q-jet to a 750 Edlebrock on my Chevelle. I love the difference it has made. I am however having a problem, when it has sat for awhile, usually overnight, I have to pump the heck out of it to get gas back to it to start. I have dealt with this on Q-jets with the seal on the filter to stop backflow, but I don't know what to do with the Edlebrock. The manual does not mention this. On some of my old trucks I've added an electric pump between the tank and the mech. pump. I hate to do this if I don't have to. Any suggestions?

 Thanks

 Brian '71 Malibu
