RE: catalina27-talk: Ping! Idle adjusment

Sat, 15 Jul 2006 08:48:42 -0700

With any simple carburetor, adjust the idle speed to where it won’t stall.  Adjust the idle mixture in until the engine starts running rough, then adjust it out (through the smooth range) until it runs rough again, and then adjust it back half of the difference.  Readjust the idle to the desired idle speed.  If you adjusted the mixture was too high above the idle speed, recheck and adjust as necessary.

Probably everybody’s sailing but me.

 

Here two quick questions: 

  1. My Atomic4 carburetor was gummed up.  I fully dismantled it and after cleaning, it runs relatively well but stalls in idle speed.  Will have some fine tuning to do with idle speed setting, and idle mixture adjustment.  Which one would you set first: mixture or rpm?
  2. To my surprise I found no fuel filter.  Will any automotive gas fuel filter do it?

Appreciate any advice.

Thanks,

It has gotten very quiet, so I thought I’d see if things are really running.
