Hi Everyone.

I have an 82' GSL. I recently rebuilt the carburetor, (as it was so plugged up it was forcing gas into the oil.) I had hoped that by doing so all my problems would be solved, but now my little 7 is idling at 2000 rpm. It doesn't start out that way though, the revs kind of work their way up there from 1500. When the choke is fully closed, the revs sky-rocket to 5000 rpms. When it is released, they drop down to 1500, and then climb to 2000 as I mentioned above. What could be wrong? What is the normal Idle speed for a healthy 7? Please, any suggetions are welcome. Sorry, I'm an Idiot, I did not mean to put SE after GSL, my mind was elsewhere.

 

I think anything SE,,is 84-85,,with a 13b,,,and you did what ???rebuilt the carb ?? or is it FI ?? are you sure
all vacum hose's are where they are meant to be ??
my car idles at 850-900 rpm's even with the AC on.
i'de say about 850-900 rpm's and run smooth

 

mine is a 84 gsl with a 12b motor and mine idles at 800-900. and when choke is fully on it's about 3000.. but i think that's normal..

 

i mean 12a

 

Haynes manual says 750 RPM's, right where my baby sits now . Choke full on, shes around 2K.
