318 Idle issues
Wow! Big difference. How does it idle now?
Not the best when cold. I have to try to figure some things out with this carb, or try a new one.
When I first started working on this the choke thermostat was not hooked up inside the housing. I fixed that and just set the choke in the middle setting to start.
We also noticed the T slots were overly exposed from what I had read. I closed those down but when you set the fast idle screw it always opens those too much, and never lets the blades close back to where you had the T slots set. I have never set one up so I am not sure why that is happening.
When you first start the car it will idle at about 750 but just sort of chugs along and sounds like it wants to die but it doesn't. I think if I could get the choke and fast idle to work it would be much better. The car runs pretty good when warm. I drove it last weekend after the valve adjustments with no issues. I does stink rich when running though.
I think a carb kit and good cleaning would also be a good idea.
I am also considering buying a new carb for it and seeing if that fixes the issue also. Rusty has suggested the Brawler 650 D.P.
