so ive been trying to figure out whats going on and although im taking my carb to work tomorrow to give it a good cleaning regardless, i figured i post this not only to see what you guys think but also for future searchers of google who may expirience this.
the car will idle, and turning the idle screws all the way in doesnt change anything.
when trying to rev, its shaky and wants to hiccup,backfire, and not continue rising in rpm.
ok so when the car is in gear and the brakes are applied it wont stay running.
this sounds like a vacuum leak but when spraying water all around the intake and the bottom of the carb and master cylinder seal, nothing changes.
so i unplugged the booster line and capped it, and the idle rises when disconnected and settles back down when capped.
so i then sprayed a little starter fluid in the carb and the idle lowered and stayed down there, and revving still hiccuped a little but then revved up higher and smoother. but when blipping the throttle quickly, it tries to spit up through the car sometimes.
so at this point im gonna clean the carb for starters. but thought id tell everyone the scoop and get some feedback. this and time has been the biggest things keeping the car off the road at this point.
thanks guys!
