| Post subject: | Idle problem |
Seeking advice on an idle problem...I have a 66, 225ci engine. I got the car tuned up, ran great. I then had to let it sit from like November to June of the next year. I got it up and running and now it will not idle well. It kind of lunges, as if it is stuttering to race. I have given it fresh gas, some Seafoam, run it around town, new fuel filter....still doing it. Any help would be appreciated. |

November to June is enough time for todays gas to work is magic blocking idle passages with deposits. Easy stuff first: Count number of turns of idle mixture screw to bottom, than remove the screw and blast / flush with carb cleaner and replace needle to same number of turns out recorded above. If flushing did no good, freshen up carb with internal cleaning and a rebuild. The other cause for poor idle is a vacuum leak. Check all vacuum hoses, and any diaphragm operated vacuum devices such as vacuum advance, power brake booster if equipped, and all gaskets between carb and head. |
