My Holley carb set up came the other day.My boy installed today and it wont idle smooth.It surges"up down,up down".What could it be?The sooner we get this fixed the sooner he will ship me my car.Any ideas?

 

Remember that we're in the New Member tech section still, which covers all generations of RX-7's...what's the engine, what's the car?

Do we have any Holley carb guys out there lurking in the New Member boards who can help?

this setup new or used and is it a racing beat holley? if u got it used, it may need cleaning.

 

Sorry if im in wrong section.The car is a 79.The moter is a 12a.The carb is a Holley/Racing beat.The intake is Racing.The whole setup is neew/used.It was bought off a member of this site.

 

I had a 68 mustang with three carbs.... i had the same problem... when i tore them apart i found dirt lodged inbetween the drop pins and dirt everywhere else. after cleaning all the dirt out i never had a problem again. If your relatively good with carbs i would recommend taking it apart and buy the rebuild kit which is not that expensive. Clean everything inside the carb with carb cleaner or brake cleaner and you should be good. That what i did with all three of my carbs.

 

Well got it running good now.My boy took the carb apart and cleaned it out.All good now.I should have my car this week.

 

so it DID need cleaning.

 

Yehh just a little bit.He started it up for me over the phone and that baby sounded good.Just got to get it here in Georgia so i can start on it.LOL

 

I figured thats what it was! Congrats on getting the car running you should post some pictures with the setup you have once you get it.

 

i will post pics as soon as i get some more.Thanks for the support and help.
