rough rider
Is the front sitting on the bump stops?
Idle is just tuning
Thank you for the reply!
The car is not on the bump stops. ( New bump stops too by the way) There is about 5/8ths of an inch gap on level ground between the bumpstop and the lower control arm.
Thinking back I should take a closer look at the upper arm bump stops, but I had clearance there too after ride height was set. ( That was last fall...I'm going to look again tonight)
One thing that bothered me was after it got back from the ride height setting and alignment ( local fountain tire dealer) I was happy all looked good. I finished installing bumpers and spare tire, and the remaining odds and ends...it was about 1/2 inch low on the passenger side. I did crank up that torsion bar about 1 full turn on the adjuster. ( yes I should get it realigned)
As for the Idle.....I cant seem to flatten it out. All brand new components except for the Carter 2BBL carb. I rebuilt it, and it seems to work great except for the idle being rough. I may have ruined the mixture screws by polishing them. I tried to be careful but there is some scoring on them, and a bit of a ridge on one. My Vacuum gauge reads about 19 inches of hg, and flutters with the idle lope. Needle also has a fast vibration, Internet tells me that's valve related......
