Another Cheap Knock off Edelbrock Carburetor Review

Looks like there's another cheap knock off carburetor on the market. Is it just as awful as the other one we reviewed? We'll find out when we tear this down and pick it apart, measure it and compare it to the ACTUAL Edelbrock carburetor.

Thanks for your videos, very clear to undestand. i have a 1826S Edelbrock on my 350 K5, i know that is build for off-roading but "lol" i dont do off road. This carb was already installed when i purchase the car. Can i keep it? any issue with this model? Thanks again for your work.

Knockoff Edelbrock, you mean Carter AFB??? Inexpensive, ok, does it work?

Do YOU think the 86$usd knockoff carbs of the ford 2100/2150s are any better?
i just rebuilt my remand autloite carb for 76 F150 and it was VERy dirty and definitely runs better now but still has high idle, slight stumble off idle, and a slight miss.
I do have alow compression clyinder 12-15 less than 3 other lowest cyl and 15 more less than 3 highest cylinders.
So im figuring my symptoms may be as good as it gets with that low cylinder.

if i pull back on the throttle while idling i can make it idle slower making me think the the blades are out of alignment or worn shafts or something
i think i have all vac leaks plugged with only brake booster, distributor, pcv and tranny vac lines left hooked up, plugged everything else

i already spent 1500 cdn fixing little things on this truck[belts, hoses, brakes etc], i dont wanna buy a new carb if its gonna be useless.
BUT 86 usd is cheap fix IF IT WORKS better

Great video thankyou.
Would love a follow up review with the VRS-4150 and how that's going? Been very little talk about it after a lot of fanfair!

Any chance you can do a video on a q- jet . The old school guy say they are the best . I seen a front end digger with two and it run very good

Request --> a 20 minute video on "the evolution of the Edelbrock Performer (aka EPS) and related (AVS) carburetors" as told from a business perspective. Who/what/when invented it, how Carter came to be, prospered, and then what happened to them that made them dissolve / sell off the business / or whatever happened? How Edelbrock started out (performance parts in general is what I found on Wikipedia a while back - not necessarily carbs), at what point then absorbed the AFB carb product, what type of changes they made to not only the product but the factory/manufacturing process. Who the heck is Magnetti Marelli, what's their relation to Weber? And why do AFB's / Edelbrock units all say Weber on them? Make it all make sense! :) The history is as interesting as the tech.

Great service you have provided to the world sir would like to see the crap carbs installed on a dyno engine to show exactly how bad they really are, now wouldn't that be something?👍👍

[lostforevermore]

Australian Edelbrock clones from Japan and made in Australia had sight glasses in the sides.

[rodwright]

And what kind of person then returns it to edelbrock, real low ljfe

[BPattB]

I like the sight glass, IF, IF it won't leak.

[kevingrant]

Cheap stuff is just that.. cheap.
The people that copied and knocked off someone else’s hard work and design should be the ones apologizing

[stevecapps]

Ive got one and it idles fine, accelerates fine but while just cruising it surges terrible. I have contacted the company I bought it from on Ebay, and they keep telling me to adjust it so it will work but I have done everything and Im going to send it back and get a Edelbrock 1406. I wanted to try it because we have used a lot of the Chinese small engine carbs with good luck but this one is JUNK.

[VinoRatRodbuilds]

Yeah I agree" knockoff is the word"😮

[rodwright]

Thanks for pointing out Chinese crap 😎👍👍

[jesseparadis]

Tbh i hope this makes edelbrock bring there prices down on carbs because 800 almost a 1000 canadian for a carb is ridiculous! Not saying ill buy one of these i have 2 nice edelbrock carbs 800 avs2

[rickynelson]

Keep in mind they can't be the exact same of the edelbrock because of the patent licensing

[tomreyn]

Can you mount a Chrysler linkage adapter on it?
Nope.
Big nut in the way.

[terryschnereger]

There's room in my trash can for both those carbs.

[samstewart]

lol I thought the new management fired all the long time edelbrock employees??
