Are there any other symptoms?
Poor idle, stumbling/hesitation, lack of power, smoke, etc?
Also, have you considered it might not be the carb, it could be ignition related?
You could try adjusting the timing to spec, new rotor/cap/plugs (properly gapped NGKs preferably) & wires.
All of those are pretty cheap (the most expensive are the wires if you get good NGK ones).
When you change the plugs you can check the old ones to see if it really is running rich.
The idle was abit odd once, I ajusted the idle screw, on some service manuals
they point to the location of my idle screw and call it the fuel/air mix.
This confuses me because other books i have read say this is not the air/fuel mix..?
There is some hesitation if i rev hard at about 4000 to 5000 rpm, the car gives a slight jerk.
I think i have lack of power going up hill, but I am not sure because its a 1300..?
No smoke oddly,I am getting black suit on my tail pice so I know i am running abit rich or was, the only way I know to ajust the air fuel mix is to ajust the float bowl I have lowerd it alot and this is helping, abit the car is warming up better... but its still burning alot, if i lower the float there will be no more fuel and it will stall.
I dont know what spec to ajust the timeing on the distributor i have left that as is.
I must get new spark plugs!(this has helped too)
I have replaced the spark plug lead with new silicone ones.
A new cap is on,but I will check this.
A new rotor.....hmmmm as far as I know this one is 20 years old..?
I think I will redo the timeing of the valves ..again..
Hope that makes sence!
thanx for the responce!
