Usually a 2x4, blower or NA, needs a smaller IJ than a single carb. It also seems a smaller IJ is less likely to have "blower roll" idle issues. Smaller IJ with correspondingly smaller IAB so the T-slot is rich enough, and perhaps a T-slot jet to keep it from going too rich if the valve timing is such that there is a large increase of vacuum from curb idle RPM to cruise RPM, is usually the best solution to have good drivability manners with a Roots blower, and for that matter with a 2X4 tunnel ram too. Idle jet in the .026" to .031" range is usually the sweet spot. I wish I could predict exactly, but no two engines are the same and changing mufflers or tail pipes on the same engine probably will need a revisit through tuning the idle/T-slot drivability.MELWAY wrote: ↑Mon May 03, 2021 6:06 pmTunerTuner wrote: ↑Fri Apr 30, 2021 4:10 pmThis ^^ or connect a hose from the external PV nipple in the main body to the nipple in the base under the primary float bowl.

When converting a single carb to use on 2x4 blower engine
Do you reduce the IFR due to 8 holes feeding engine over 4

I know the power valves are different along with the primary and secondary jets. Air bleeds I'm not sure of, but probably a good chance.F-BIRD'88 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 30, 2021 7:05 pm The PVCR size may be different +/- relative to the PVCR size used in a N/A carb application.. Main emulsion jets sizes and main AB's sizes may be different..
Depending if the blower carb is intended for 2x4 use on a blower or as a single carb the idle circuit fuel metering sizes might be different.
You'd have to strip it down and measure stuff on this carb to know how its set up.
Draw thru or blow thru type will be set up differently.
