The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop 270 bogging me down

I'm actualy wondering the same thing as RustedNuts myself. I looked at everything I could find and the Rochester B's were only noted on smaller engine, so I'm wondering if this could be a source of my issues as well.

It does run quite well when at lower throttle settings, just cant hack it with more opening, so I'm wondering if my jetting is all messed up in relation to my fuel needs. Still, the black smoke seems to tell me I'm running too rich, not too lean.

I wouldn't mind finding a Holley 1904 to pop on there, any of the three carbs listed in the manual would be good really. At least then I'd have some more info in my factory manual to work with, and better yet, I have the numbers for the jetting and such right there as well. I learned from working with dual Weber setups that there's not much room for guessing games in carburation.
Hey,... There's an idea, maybe I should fab up a manifold and slap on a Weber! :p
