Metering Rods - .067 x .049

The Edelbrock Metering Rods .067 x .049 are precision brass carburetor components designed for fine-tuning fuel delivery in marine engines. These rods work within Edelbrock carburetors to regulate the air-fuel mixture at idle and part-throttle conditions, directly affecting engine responsiveness, fuel economy, and smooth acceleration on the water. As a matched pair, they provide the critical metering control that separates a well-tuned engine from one running rich or lean.

Metering rod diameter and taper profile determine how much fuel flows past the idle and main jets as throttle position changes. The .067 x .049 inch specification on these Edelbrock rods is engineered to match specific carburetor applications where precise mixture control prevents hesitation during cruise-to-throttle transitions and reduces fuel consumption during idle. Brass construction resists corrosion in salt-air environments—a critical feature for marine engines exposed to constant moisture and spray. The pair format ensures balanced metering across both carburetor barrels.

Boaters running Edelbrock carburetors who experience rough idle, bogging, or sluggish low-end throttle response often find worn or incorrect metering rods are the culprit. Replacing them restores the factory tune and engine performance. These rods are essential for anyone rebuilding an Edelbrock carb or restoring a marine engine to original specifications. Weekend anglers and serious offshore skippers alike depend on reliable carburetor function for consistent engine behavior and fuel efficiency during extended runs.

Edelbrock's reputation in marine performance stems from decades of carburetor development for high-performance and stock marine applications. Metering rods are wear items that benefit from periodic inspection and replacement as part of routine carburetor service. Correct metering rod selection is application-specific—these .067 x .049 rods are matched to particular Edelbrock models, so verify your carburetor model before ordering to ensure proper fit and function.
