Signs Your Carburetor Needs a Rebuild
-
Hesitation or stumble on acceleration — Accelerator pump cup hardened or torn
-
Fuel leaking from throttle shafts or bowl seams — Gaskets degraded from ethanol fuel
-
Rich idle with black exhaust smoke — Float level too high or needle/seat worn
-
Hard hot restart — Fuel percolation due to leaking needle/seat
-
Stalling at stoplights — Idle circuit or transition slots clogged
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this kit fit the 1406 electric choke?
A: Yes. The 1406 is the most common Edelbrock Performer model, and this kit includes all gaskets and components specific to the electric choke version.
Q: What does this kit NOT include?
A: This kit includes all wear components — gaskets, seals, accelerator pump, needle/seat. It does NOT include floats, metering rods, or main jets (reusable or part of a separate calibration kit).
Q: How long does a rebuild take?
A: An experienced DIY mechanic can rebuild an Edelbrock/Carter AFB in 1.5-2 hours. First-timers should budget 3-4 hours on a clean, well-lit bench.
Q: Is this compatible with 800 CFM models (1412/1413)?
A: This kit covers 1400-1409 series. For 1410-1413 (750-800 CFM) models, a different kit is required due to the larger venturi. Check our other listing for those models.
Q: Can I reuse my existing floats?
A: Yes, provided they are not saturated or damaged. Test brass floats by submerging in hot water for pinhole leaks. Weigh Nitrophyl floats against spec for absorption.
