So...I just got done rebuilding a 460 for my '78 E350 Pathfinder 4X4 conversion. About the only thing I didn't replace is the original intake and carb. Once I got the new engine running and got the cam broke in I turned my attention to the carb. The carb that was originally on the motor was broken so I was able to source another 4350 that had a "remanufactured" tag on it but basically I don't know anything about it.
I got the carb on and am struggling to get a decent cold idle. I still need to wire up a lead for the electronic choke and hopefully get that working and I'm not sure what to do with the throttle solenoid (don't have a lead for that either). I'm pretty ignorant with all the available external adjustments.
The biggest problem is that it seems to run OK when it's warm except when I corner at idle or low RPMs. If I'm giving it gas it's fine but otherwise it really bogs down and wants to stall, like the floats are set too high. Any suggestions? Any idea how far out the idle mixture/idle limiter screws should be set out from full-in? Thanks!
