Am posting here for more exposure to Holley wisdom even though it isn't on a Ford.
My Son-in-law has an old Champ forklift with a 1976 slant six Chrysler and a 1945 Holley. I have never fiddled with this type carburetor before.
We just got the engine swapped in and running yesterday; it won't idle down without dying, so I have to open the idle speed screw so far that the idle mixture adjustment is not very effective.
It seems to be running quite rich.
The choke is NOT stuck closed; it is functioning quite properly.
Which way leans out the idle mixture, turning the screw in or turning the screw out?
Are there any smog idiosyncracies that may be causing problems?
The carb is a "new" rebuilt unit for a 1976 Dodge Aspen, so no telling how well it was rebuilt.
It is being fed with an electric fuel pump of unknown provenance.
We have a Haynes manual for the 76 Aspen but it isn't much help.
Any help will be much appreciated,
Joe
