I have a 625 carter carb. and it bogs a little when I take of in first gear. I have changed the spark plug wires and reset the timing but it still bogs. It still runs great after the bog. When I first put the 302 in my car in August I got on it pretty good and when I hit 2nd it started missing for a minute. I have a cheap electric carter fuel pump and I figured I just run it dry. How do I adjust the screws on the front of carb?Anything else I should look at? Thanks, Tony------------------

The two screws at the front of the carb are the idle circuit adjusters... most accurately tuned with a vaccum gauge (you can do it by 'ear' too  ). Turn one screw in at a time until the rpm's come up as high as they will. Keep turning until the motor starts to stumble, and then back it out 1/2 to 3/4 turn. Repeat for the other screw. I think there's an accelerator pump adjustment too... the rod can seat into one of two different holes. You might try the other hole, see if it improves your off-idle response/performance  ------------------

How to adjust a Jimmy Carter carb for best results by Alex:1) Remove carb
2) Throw it as far as you can, or launch it with a catapult, or, mount on garage wall as a target for pistol shooting practice.
3) Replace with Holley or Autolite 4100 of
your choice.
4)Enjoy trouble free high performance driving ------------------

Are there jet's (like in a Holley) that you can up size and down size on these? I have a freind that has one on a Cobra kit car that is way over fueled... I can not get it to lean out. i had to kick the timming up just to keep it from loading up. the best i can get on the vac guage is 15".... thats sad... I can get at least 21 on my boss at 600 rpm with a holley.

They too have screw in jets for big changes; smaller changes can be made by swapping metering rods and step-up springs ------------------

Yes, they both let you down and make you want to puke.  ------------------

Tony I used a carter 625 for over 4 years.It never ran right no matter what I did.
I leaned the choke all the way.And that seemed to help my carb.
When I put the used a Holley 600cfm on.My car runs better then ever gets better gas milage,and runs stronger.SCOOP ------------------
