Bill being an old MOPAR guy from my teens I am familiar with the Carter carbs and mopar used the avs a lot. At one time there were tons of tweaking parts for the Carters unfortunately with Carters demise a lot of those parts are gone now. The new Thunder series of Edelbrock carbs are based on the AVS design. But having never seen one I have no idea how close they are. Unfortunately they do not make marine versions of those carbs just the performance series are marinized. I agree with most everything you said. And I can see your point about marine motors being cold blooded on the accelerator pump deal but how often do you slam the throttles down? As far as chokes yes the spring controlled chokes are not real good but with some work mine are fine. How Tim Toth gets his so perfect is amazing but he is a fanatic about them. On eother thing about the Carter is the check valve they need to be replaced every so often to keep the carb from bleeding down and draining the bowl dry makes a big difference in cold starts. I like your methods vacum gauges on the motors in real time is very nice to have and they will tell you a lot.

OK everbody like Bill said paying attention? Test later this week!
