in the future i want to buy a edelbrock carb and i was wondering what size do u need for a 35.5 carb, it is a stock 03 400ex. i was looking at one in the dennis kirk cataloge and was wondering if this is a good place to buy it or should i just buy it directly from edelbrock. please give me your replys if it is good or bad.

Not to mention the long throttle throw and stiff throttle.

I love mine, quick throttle reponse, the only thin I hate about it is it has been sticking since the first day i got it.

Mine has worked great since day one. I am thinking of buying another one for the motor we are currently building.

i was just thinking do u guys run in dusty conditions maybe thats why it sticks sometimes. aint the edelbrock carb a needle carb whats the difference between a needle and a jeted carb.how much did u guys pay for yours, in my dennis kirk cataloge they sell the edelbrock carb for $425.00 is this a fair price for it.

when I bought mine, I got the quicksiver off ebay for 200, and sent it to edelbrock to look it over clean it ect. I also had them bore it out for a 416.

I used the stock boot on my yfz but the stock carb was a 39mm. I think we just used a blade and removed a little bit of the rubber for a good fit.
