how do i adjust the idle
Hi me again.
The car is runnning very well but I can't seem to get the idle adjusted. It is smooth but is about 1200 rpm. I have a Haynes but they deal with the older carb and give no info on the later carbs.
P.S.
I spent at least a whole day to get the fuel pump to work and the only problem was the sensor (?) on the carb was not connected
.
The costs are as follows
1. car. $250.00 (didn't run)
2. rad. $130.00 (rebuilt)
3. water pump $4.00 (used)
4. clutch master $5.00 (used)
5. clutch slave $4.00 (used)
6. dist cap $0.70 (used like new)
7. intake gasket $8.00 (new with o-rings)
8. brake pads $44.85 (new)
Total so far $442.55 USD
Not to bad eh.
