Has anybody had any problems with there edelbrock carb sticking? If so how did you fix it. I have cleaned carb and purchased a new cable. Still have problem. But it only sticks on the low end, About 1/8th trottle. If I hit the trottle it is fine. Any help would be appreciated.

i am not sure how this carb works, but a little WD 40 may help smooth things out in the carb. if there is a moving slide or something like that in this carb, spray it there.

I'm not sure if they are the same or not, but my sons 300EXs' slide, over time, had the teflon worn off of it on one side and got sticky. We were able to turn it around and be okay.

I had this problem too. What i did was take of the right black plastic cover, on the carb and wiped down the accelorator pump roller i think its called. The arched piece that moves when you press the throttle. I had a piece of dirt on it. Spray it all down with wd.
