Mine is different because since I replaced the carb I have to pour a little gas down it for the first start of the day, and it idles at about 3000 RPMs and I have NO idea how to fix that.

 

That must get old, QUICK.

 

You have NO idea!

 

check the carb gasket wit some carb spray around the base of the carb....

 

different I guess because its a 74 F250 Crew not many of them made. An that it has 30K original miles an is totally stock wth the Ford Blue paint still on the I beam & engine & stuff.

 

A friend of mine had a great idea because he had the same problem and was never able to solve it. If you rig a primer pump inline to the carb all you would have to do is reach in there filter on and squeeze that pump a couple times. Hope it helps.

You know, it sounds like you have a vacuum leak. Did you replace the carb mounting gasket when you switched out carbs?

 

Sure did, I had to cut one myself from some gasket material. Maybe I should go buy a real one, if any of the stores around here have one.

 

Get a real one. Id bet that would fix it.
