Hi guys. Sorry for the desperation post....in rural Wyoming for a family wedding and trying to help my brother get his boat running. It’s a 302 with an Edelbrock 1409 (performer series) and the secondary side is pouring fuel out of the top at idle and under throttle. I haven’t worked on one of these before and I am assuming it’s either too much fuel pressure or the float set too high or junk between needle and seat. Not able to get to an auto parts store but I have a regulator being overnighted, will be here tomorrow. Any other advice besides checking these things? Only have an hour or two tomorrow to work on it and if I can’t fix it it will probably cost him close to a thousand bucks to get it worked on in time.

Bowls are on the side, IIRC... Eddy’s dont like being installed at an angle.

Remove the screws around the top and lift up and you will see the needle that has a piece of something on it causing the flooding. If you r careful you will not tear the gasket.

Pouring from both sides or just one?

Pouring in both of the rear barrels. Front barrels appear to be atomizing fuel normally. I will pull the top and take a look. My brother had the carb serviced and then hit a large bump on the road. He then noticed that the fast idle cam was missing. He got a new cam but this marine carb doesn’t have the fast idle adjustment screw. Any chance something wrong with the choke/fast idle linkage could be causing this?

Not positive about Edlebrocks but marine carbs don’t have or need a fast idle cam, you pull the knob on the control and manually increase the engines speed.
Dumping fuel is the least of his problems if he was driving it down the road and hit a bump |
