Will the newer Edlebrock 600 carbs give better GPH over the older carbs? Even rebuilds? The Edelbrocks are a relatively cheap upgrade if they will better the fuel effiecency.

"Hard to tell if you'll see measurable GPH improvement with the new carb based on its design; depends on how "sloppy" your old carb was. Keeping away from WOT, having the right prop and keeping the boat light all contribute to the equation."

"Jeff,

I put a Edelbrock 60

"Jeff,

I put a Edelbrock 600 (1409)on that I bought from Jegs. Ran it through the entire range. Wow I'm impressed. I have fuel meters on each engine and the results are there. Its better! Its only a few gallons per hour across the entire range. Going away the closer you get to WOT. But hey if I do both engines its significant! Definately worth it!
