ok, i just put my good motor into my good un-wrecked car and the dam thing will not idol. i have played around with the idol screw and the acelerator cabel and i can get it to. it only idols with the choke out and thats it. i dont know what the problem is. any ideas?

 

car needs to become famous first for something, before i can be an idol

oh man im hilarious!

 

oh thats funny, ya smart ***, you could have at least said something about the problem

 

Its a rex! And you could check for vaccuum leaks.

 

For once the no0b is right. Check for any kind of vacuum leaks.

Also, it's not a common problem, but make sure your Fuel pump is getting enough pressure and volume to your carburetor.

 

 

chill dude i don't think i was being rude, just stupid...no need to get all defensive

i agree, check for vacum leaks

 

idol? my car doesn't idle either; it's ok, lots of people are illiterate when they're tired.

 

is this happening after its warmed up?

 

if it idles like a harley the engine is blown but other than that vacuum or ignition prob

 

not another 'idol' thread!

 

How sure are you that you are turning the idle screw, and not the mixture screw?

 

You ARE an Idle screw!

 

im pretty sure im turning the right screw because the mixture screw is on the bottom right below the idle screw, and once its warmed up the choke sometimes sticks and i push it in from the carb and right after that the engine dies. its really pissing me off i want to drive it ahh
