    Calling All 550 Carb Experts

    I know how uncle mike felt about his idle problems. I have 16 (count em 16) carbs supposedly off 550s. I'm trying to get 4 the same. I am down to the slides and needles. I have slides that are .050 in. longer than others. I have an assortment of needles. I have a gigantic urge to drop the whole thing in the lake. I just have a problem picking which lake.


    Does anyone know which slides are correct and how do you tell them apart other than length? Are there any marks to distinguish which is which? I'm up to my azz in alligators. HELP !!!

    Someone with a 550 will have to help you with slide lengths, but a call or email to Sudco or Dynojet can get you the correct jets. I have a Sudco catalog with three pages describing the differences in needles, the dimensions, etc. that I could scan for you tomorrow if you still want to go with the assortment you have.

        550 slides

        I have looked everywhere I could think of and I cant find any specs on length of slides. So I have backed my ears and used the SWAG (scientific wild azz guess) method and went with the longest slides I have. I will have some empiracle evidence as to what works best in the next week.(hopefuly)
        Stay tuned for the saga of "REDDY and his carbs" soon to be evidence in his sanity hearing.
        BTW thanks for the help. This an AWESOME (I hate that word) site.
