I am having a problam setting the the adjustments for my 440. It has a milled head,pipe,resinator, and the carb is stock. I cant seem to get it to run right. There are no leaks and I have used this carb on a stock engine before and had no problems.

I believe the high speed is 3/4 turns and low is 1 1/2 turns but if you increased the compression you need premium gas and may need bigger main jet

When your engine has been modified (even with only bolt-on mods) you will find that constant tuning may be required. Elevation and temperature changes may require you to adjust the carbs several times in a day as the temperature increases/decreases. It is just something you have to deal with when you modify these things from stock.
