"replaced my q-jets with edlebrocks.85 270 crusaders.q-jets were gummed shut from sitting 4 years.had great luck with e-brock on my old big block truck so i figured what the heck. problem with the e-brocks running rich and flooding. new fuel filters,new fuel pumps w/5 pounds pressure and new regulaters,clean lines,have the fuel line into a clean can of fresh gas,adjusted the floats to factory spec.e-brock tech service is trying to tell me the carbs are at too much of an angle backwards.its only 10 degrees engine angle.they also told me to change my float needle/seats over to spring loaded off road type.anybody have any thoughts here? by the way,both carbs same exact thing on either engine.carb numbers are 1409 marine i believe."
