Carb Problems - Starvation at 4200 rpm.- internal filter?

[Ray]

Hello,
Have a problem at 4200 rpm, the car just starves out, if I keep it
floored, car returns after 2 seconds and then runs for 2 seconds the
starves again......
I have just put this carb on the other carb I have floods just enough
to drain gas into the intake....When I run it I get the overrich
running, but no starvation problems, that is what make me think that it
is the carb. I have just replaced the fuel filter and it is getting
the gas to the carb. I remember hearing that there is a filter
somewhere in the carb, but cannot find any reference to it now....
Any way I removed the carb and set the floats to specs. all jets seem
good and the needle isn't hanging. Just don't get it. The only other
thing that I could possibly think of is that this engine has a 1mm
overbore kit in it and this carb came off of the bonestock engine that
I have. The car runs SOOOOOOOOO much better with this carb compaired
to the other that I just hate to put the other one back on.
Any and all help is appreciated.
Thanks,
KC in GA.

Hi,
Removed the screen from the top if the needle seat. Little if any
improvement. The magic # is still 4200 rpm. I changed out the filter
from the flooding carb, no improvement. I removed it all together, No
improvement. I just don't get it. Smoother idleing, smoother
excellerating (untill the magic #). Then that sinking feeling of
slowing down.....
should I attempt to take the jets out of the smoother carb and put it
into the flooding carb? (should I just replace the the piston at the
top?)
any way, at least I learned the location of the filter and I can remove
and strip the carb as fast as an indy pit crew now....
Thanks for any additional info.
KC
Just a show of hands:
-Does anyone else have a possesed carberator?
