Question for the dual 4 crowd

[Whaler]

WOW You guys are up there in the CFM department

The reason I ask this question, is that I am run a single Holley 850 with mechanical sec. and manual choke ( wired wide open)

I am thinking I could be overcarburated a tad in that it smells rich. I have just broken in the cam and am attempting to set up the carb. I have not pulled a plug yet to look

Adjusting 4 idle/air mixture screws is touchy using a vac gauge. They should be adjusted equally and I have gone from the std curb setting start pt. of 1.5 turn out on each, to 1.0 turn out for another baseline.
So far my min. vac. is looking like 10 inches at idle. But Idle is not quite where I think it should or could be. 1000-950 RPM

It takes few minutes to warm up too.

FYI I find it hard to believe that I have only put 2 gallons of 94 octane in the tank for that inital break-in of 30 minutes and it ran dry the next day....8 liters to be exact ( Canada hey) 1500- 2500 rpm may do it for the 20-30 minutes I ran it

Since then, I have been thru another 2 gallons just playing around in the driveway over a few different days.

The reason I only want 2 gallons in at a time is that it goes to the paint shop soon and I don't want much gas in it then.

I have a 25 gallon fuel cell. This consumption sound right?

You guys have way more CFM than i do easily. Yet your not too fat?
