Nug Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 Cool, another Virginian. Are the throttle shaft bores worn? Can you take the throttle shaft and move it back and forth, up and down? If you can, the throttle plates will never be right. Time for a new carb. You can check this by spraying carb cleaner or starting fluid right at the throttle shaft, while wiggling it. It basically causes a big, variable vacuum leak that is hard to track down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
