Metering Rods - .070 x .042

Maintaining peak engine performance on the water requires precise fuel delivery, and the Edelbrock Metering Rods - .070 x .042 are essential components for fine-tuning your marine carburetor's fuel-to-air ratio. Designed specifically for Edelbrock carburetors, these metering rods allow boaters to adjust the fuel curve to compensate for atmospheric changes, altitude shifts, or specific engine demands. Proper calibration ensures that the vessel maintains power during acceleration while optimizing fuel economy during steady cruising.

These metering rods feature a dual-step design with a 0.070-inch outer diameter on the lean step and a 0.042-inch diameter on the power step. Manufactured from high-grade brass, these rods provide the necessary corrosion resistance required for the harsh environments often encountered in marine applications. When you buy these specifications for your fuel system, you are ensuring a durable interface between the vacuum piston and the main jets, which is critical for consistent throttle response and engine longevity.

The installation of these rods is a straightforward process that does not require the removal of the carburetor or the draining of fuel, making them a practical choice for on-the-water adjustments. By swapping the existing rods for this pair, you can effectively lean out or richen the mixture throughout the partial-throttle and full-power ranges. Reviewing the Edelbrock 1450 specifications confirms that these rods are precision-engineered to meet the tight tolerances required for modern marine powerplants.

Engineered for reliability, the Edelbrock Metering Rods - .070 x .042 are sold as a pair to ensure both primary barrels of the carburetor are balanced perfectly. Whether you are troubleshooting a mid-range stumble or looking to maximize your range for offshore trips, these brass metering rods provide the technical precision necessary for professional-grade marine engine tuning and maintenance.
