----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- Percy & Larry, That is the very correct way the carb was built to work. There are three little hole in the venturi where the butterfly moves. The smaller one is at the idle end and as you go slowly toward open you pass the next larger hole and then the largest. This is the accelerator portion of the throttle, it changes the air flow and pressure to the top of the fuel chamber to cause a higher fuel flow to the main metering valve. As you said, just have to have a slower rate of increase to throttle for rpm. Bob Parker Mena, AR.

You are aware, Artie, that the Ercoupe carbourators are notorious for not having an acceleration pump? That could explain your problem If you get RPM Fade when applying throttle, try it again - counting 1 - 2 - 3 seconds from idle to full bore. Mine fades at exactly that range when I hit the power too fast. Check it out.
