rough idle w/ stock carb
84 12a gsl w/ stock carb. My issue is that the idle is extremely rough. when stopped if i take my foot off the gas the car wants to bog down and stall. is there something that i'm just not seeing here? quick fix? new carb?
thanks

The problem has been an on going issue. The previous owner let the car sit for a few years only sporadically starting it. Sence I have owned the car (1year) I have been able to run/drive the car more consistantly by keeping Rpm around about 1k.

Pull the top off the carb. If the bottom of the bowls show any signs of sediment or shiny shellac like finish you need a full tear down.
Look at the Stirling Metal Works website for some good incite on your specific Nikki carb.

I was having idling issues as well, mine were fixed by doing an EGR delete, which in most states is an issue due to smog regulations, that fixed my idling issue, also, you can adjust the idle, which helped me as well in the mean time before i fixed the EGR.
