I finally went on a real off road trip this weekend in the bronco. It was at a place called Redbird orv park (Linton, IN). It was very muddy and there were some steep hills and deep muddy holes.
I was doing very well until I would get to the hills, then my brand new Edelbrock AVS off road carb would die out going up the hills and on the way down the hills. It really sucked!!! The only time I could make it up the hills was to get a run at it and hold it wide open. So much for crawling up those rocky hills. Almost turned it over when I hit rocks going 20mph straight up hill.
I am really disapointed in the Eldelbrock carb. This carb is designed to not flood out going up and down hills.
Has anyone else had problems with this carb?
I am going to call Edelbrock when they open today and see what can be done. It was not cheap ($375.00) and I could flood out with a cheap ass carb just as easy as this expensive one.
Oh, the new tires worked very well(36" IROKS) would work even better with a beadlock with lower air pressure. I was running 19 psi in the front and 14.5 psi in the rears. I didnt want to pop one off the rim.
There was a guy with our group running the Mickey Baha Claws 37x13's and they were unreal. They out performed the Boggers that day!!!
