[QUOTE="gunnerzz, post: 1064708393, member: 166532"] carb is very robust and reliable.U just need to change the air filter and if u have time,use carb cleaner. Most of rough idling,hard starting,etc problem that we thought to have come from the carb are not caused by the carb. There are lots of vacuum hoses and one way valve,pressure activated valve running in/out of the carb.if some of it leak of worn out, it will causes lots of problem. Not sure how your carb works but for aircond there will be a vacuum which trigger more fuel+air into the engine.Turning the aircond screw alone wont help if the vacuum actutor is not working. Some carb have a vacuum hose from carb to distributor which allow for ignition advance/retard based on throttle input. With this type of carb and dist,the input vacuum hose to the dist must be removed and clamped before adjusting the ignition timing. Grounding cable will gives signifant improvement esp for old vehicle but wont solve the problem.u can feel better engine response,easier start up,better lighting. What i suggest is to get all the vacuum hoses,valve inspected and replaced if any.Then get it tuned properly with a tuner that uses timing light and exhaust reader. Personally i wont go for overhaul if i know i have looked after the engine very well all these while.Depending on the mileage,the most i will do is just top overhaul. Sorry for the long reply,i am free today..heheh [/QUOTE]
