Those of you who are good with carbs i beg your ear, i have had this particular carb on my car since i bought it some 15 years ago with some finesse, carb clean and gaskets its served me very well over the years however, this last month or so it has been giving me the fits, i cannot for the life of me get this car to idle anymore, it just wont idle at all, once into the RPMS its ok but acts like its missing, ive checked and double checked that its not a timing issue or an ignition issue so that leave fuel.
The thing acts like its running pig rich all the time, the car always seemed to run rich and i pulled the jet but dont seen any numbering so im not certain what size it is but it new is the thing i started it up after a few months of sitting over the winter and it idled fine as it warmed up and after coming back in it didnt want to idle at all and hasnt since. I have also taken it apart cleaned everything even ultrasoniced the body and small parts and reassembled but still will not idle. Im starting to pull my hair out here please if any of you have any ideas let me know would be much appreciated.
