Like the title says, I explained what my car was doing and he told me what to get, Carberator Lid Gasket, and well it took a couple attempts and a little bit of trial and error but it works a hell of a lot better now.

Yeah - the internal edges of the gasket "melt" into the carb passages - namely the accelerator pump areas. Makes em act weird.

 

GD

what was it doing?

In general it wasn't running well it wouldn't accelerate worth crap and I had to keep it nailed to keep it at 60

 

now it seems to be flooding out

I've gotten rid of many a good sube because of these carb issues, my moms hatch is having them now, seems like it's flooding at low speed and starving for gas at high speed, cutting out most of the time and sometimes it's fine. I told her to buy a carb and be done with it.

 

BTW, just browsing by this post it looked like +1 Bryan Adams...... talk about off topic!
