1966 Plymouth Valiant /6 & Holley 1945 carb can only get to idle at 1250rpm. How to get a lower idle without dying?
As described. Car would idle fine at ~900 rpm one drive on a nice warm clear day, and then didn't feel like it and kept wanting to die all the time later. Kept having to two foot the gas and brake. Idles fine when choke is engaged, doesn't wanna when choke isn't. In addition to the rough idle, on the freeway at full throttle at ~50mph, the engine would start sputtering unless I decreased throttle. Engine temp was always 79-82 C. Air cleaner is clean so I'm out of ideas. I was born when some of you probably joined, so I'd appreciate the help. Thanks!
