What do you mean " what did you do before you bolted it on"?
I put a new cam intake heads lifters springs and pushrods and went form a 600 edelbrock to using this carb for the first time. Carb runs rich as hell and has problems(I think its junk) and its overheating.
Could the new thermostat have already gone bad.
I meant if it's used did you bolt it on and go or did you rebuild it.

Did you just replace the parts or did you dip it to clean out the varnish and **** from all of the ports and bleeds? What jet size are you running?
