Thread: Carburetor problems

My 1984 will not stay at an idle at all especially when I put it in neutral to come to a stop and I don't know what's wrong anymore I changed the brake booster and put new gaskets on my carburetor.

Have u tried to adjust the carb at all?

Sounds like a vaccum leak check with some carb cleaner around all hoses gaskets on intake and check the pcv valve( clean or replace) ? Let us no

That makes 2 of us haha

I think it depends on the person, my uncle and cousin can take any carbureted engine and make em purr like a kitten, guess it's all on what you know

Yes, but at some point they will stall on you lol. Not with fuel injection unless you have a problem.

Have you messed with the timing at all

I've put a new brake booster and gaskets on my carburetor but haven't checked the hose. And I'm going to borrow my friends timing light this weekend and see where that puts me
