Joseph_change Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 Hey all! I am very new to carburetors and I have a quick question about idling. Should My truck idle if the throttle is completely closed? Because my truck will not idle whatsoever unless I keep the throttle a little bit open. Please help! Quote Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 It should idle without having to feather the throttle, yes. Quote Link to comment
Joseph_change Posted May 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 Okay thank you. Now what would cause it to not idle at all? Quote Link to comment
Jester Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 Vacuum leak. If it has a Weber check the adapter. Sometimes the adapter bolts will come loose. You'll need to pull the carb off to check them. Quote Link to comment
Joseph_change Posted May 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 I found the issue! The idle screw needed adjustment. Now i just need to tune :) Quote Link to comment
