Hey all, I'm rebuilding the carb on my '95 Maxum 2000sr with a 4.3LX and a Carter/Weber 9600s carb. Long story short, I bought this boat in a million parts with a cracked block. I built a new 4.3 short block last year, have about 100 trouble free hours since. When I got the boat, it came with a "rebuilt" carb. The carb has always had a dead spot from 1/2 throttle to wot. Going to Cumberland next weekend and finally have some free time to fix this. Took it all apart and found numerous issues with it. One of them was that the "rebuilder" didn't put the discharge ball in, in the accelerator circuit. I bought the Edelbrock 1477 kit for this carb. I can use either the weight or the spring. Probably doesn't matter which one I use, but is there a preference in the two? I used the weight but it wouldn't be too hard to switch if the spring is better. Looks like one possible advantage is the spring could allow more volume in that area.
In addition to the missing ball, I also found the float levels WAY off, the secondary air valves were in a bind and a few blocked passages. Be careful who does your work if you don't do it yourself!!
Thanks in advanced for your answers!
