'85 GL running too rich


Recommended Posts

my Gl is running way to rich, and as a result, hesitates on acceleration, and dies unless you're foot is on the gas (fixed that by adjusting throttle cable, but i think that was just the easy fix), is there an easy adjustment for the mixture? Is this a common problem? any ideas?

yeah check your choke, make sure the vacuum solenoid that pulls the choke open is working & is receiving vacuum, otherwise it will get bad mileage. Also, you could have a leaking accelerator pump or a leaking float valve, or a stuck float or somethign to that effect that is giving it too much fuel. Being that your car is 4WD it won't have the computer contolled carburetor, unless it is a California smogged model.
