hey guys
just had a friend rebuild my carb from an 85 302 H.O. original carb, when i went to start it , it started and idles on low idle and then when i went to give it gas it fire balls threw the carb.

Any ideas? thanks

have you changed timing at all?

Sounds like a lean fuel misfire.. have you adjusted the carb at all for accel pump or idle circuits..?

Timing, EGR and a few other problems cause this. When did it start doing this?

if you changed nothing BUT the carb rebuild, i'd say your friend fucked up

Sounds like your friend screwed up a carb rebuild.
