Metering Rods - .067 x .055

The Edelbrock Metering Rods - .067 x .055 are precision carburetor components designed for boaters and marine engine enthusiasts who demand reliable fuel metering in demanding saltwater and freshwater environments. These rods are essential for maintaining optimal air-fuel mixture across varying throttle positions and operating conditions. Whether you're tuning a vintage marine carburetor or restoring a classic inboard engine, quality metering rods directly impact fuel economy, engine response, and overall reliability on the water.

Machined from brass for durability and corrosion resistance, these metering rods feature precise .067-inch outer diameter and .055-inch inner diameter specifications that work in tandem with carburetor needles to regulate fuel flow. The brass construction withstands marine environments better than steel alternatives, resisting oxidation from salt spray and moisture exposure. As fuel demand increases with engine load, the metering rod's taper works to progressively lean or richen the mixture, ensuring efficient combustion across the entire power band—critical when you need consistent performance from idle through full throttle.

These rods are sold as a pair and are fully compatible with Edelbrock carburetors commonly found on marine engines from the 1960s through modern restorations. Proper installation requires removing the float bowl and needle-and-seat assembly; if your engine is surging at cruise, hesitating under load, or running rich at idle, worn or incorrect metering rods are often the culprit. Boaters who maintain their own engines will appreciate how straightforward a metering rod swap can be—typically requiring only basic tools and minimal downtime to restore predictable fuel delivery and smooth throttle response for hours on the water.
