Edelbrock Carb Help Please

[73Banana]

Hello all, from left to right i will number them 1,2 and 3. Pic 1 the mechanic welded those two levers together. Just below the top spring in the photo. Why was this done? Obviously, the new carb didn't have the spot weld.
Pic 2, the flap does not close all the way resulting in difficult starting attempts. Along with this pic 2, pic 3 shows the electric choke lever to the max with my finger. How do i adjust the pic 1 & 2 issue?
Thanks

Welcome to FEBO from the desert! I'm assuming you've got a 73 Challenger that's Banana. Pictures of that would be nice.

Unfortunately, Edelbrock carbs don't come with Mopar automatic linkage. You have to buy a separate piece. From the first picture, it looks like someone cludged together something. The choke butterflies are adjusted via the rod going to the cadmium plated bracket midway between you finger and the fuel line in picture 3 (this is assuming the weird welded bracketry on the other side isn't holding everything including the throttle butterfly partially open).

Thank you for having me. Have been a member before now back. Thanks for the advice, will work on it soon. I will post repair if am successful.
I'll post some pictures.

Just to be sure, you open the primaries the choke wont snap closed? What's the carb model number?

An other question. Did he tack them together because the was a stumble? Looks like the acc pump is on the slower feed. 340 318 360?

Thank you, the model number is Edelbrock performer series #1411. When you say open the primaries, where are they?

What would a "stumble" mean? How can i tell if the accelerator pump is on slow feed? The engine is a 360.

Thank you MP, will check this out on my manual.

Primary throttle blades are under the choke plate.

When cold and the accelerator pedal is depressed that starts to opens the primaries as Excude explained. The chock should snap shut.

Hesitation or lurching.

The diagram Moparleo posted is how it should be set up. If not there can be permanent damage to the transmission. Find out why the linkage was tacked together. As others mentioned there might be reason not understood here at this time. It might be interfering with the choke as mentioned.

I ask for the carburetor # to find an exploded view. It doesn't show enough of the linkage connection from one side to the other.

The tack weld just doesn't make sense to me. I think it might be all of the problem.
