[jeffreygivens]

ok i did the vac remove and i did the how to all of it but now my car smokes and nothing works right.
ok when i put it back to gether and started it it sounded like crap
all stumbly so that sounded right so i hed to ajust some thing frist do i ajust the fast idle screw or the lide screw one is one the side and one is on the back. I could not get it to idle right it would not go down the rpms would not go down. and it was smokeing bad evrey time i hit the gas big cloud of gas. so whats going on here

First, what color is the smoke, this will help.

Second, your A/F ratio may be off to cause this.

[jeffreygivens]

well the smoke is black and my gauge is at almost rich

[shepherd79]

lower your fuel mixture. you should have no smoke at all.
did you keep the choke?

[jeffreygivens]

no i did not keep the choke

[jeffreygivens]

oh yea do i have to remove the whole choke or can i leave it there because its still there just not working

[DanG86LX]

Is the choke flap fully open, i.e. vertical?

[jeffreygivens]

now what is the choke flap? is that on the top

[jeffreygivens]

oh no it is closed i believe

[DanG86LX]

..what do u expect then, tie it up open with a string! Now if where u live gets cold in the morning, u have to make the choke work somehow.

[Magny]

lol dude do what i did(only if you are missing the venturi jet screw) put a thick a$$ piece of wire, big enough to fit the gap and bend it over the top of the carb under the box. bolt the box down and it holds it open about 1/8" open always.

LOL too bad I can't take pics, cause now i can't find my digicam :( sux like hell

[jeffreygivens]

dose anyone have apic
because its not all the way closed

[jeffreygivens]

ok now i got it to idle but it still smokes i tryed the air mix screw o n the back but nothng

[shepherd79]

remove the choke plate. this way you won't have any problems.
the choke plate is on the top of the carb. remove 2 screws and pull it out.

you shouldn't be smoking.
if you are smoking all the time, and it is grey almost black smoke, your piston rings are gone.
engine will need to be rebuild.

[jeffreygivens]

yea but never smoked before

[Techno]

Never smoked before? you mean you "NEVER INHALED" :bh: :lol

Serious note.

I have the same problem. I will smoke in the morning on startup. My choke plate is f*****. I had to hold it open with a screw just to be able to start the car in the morning. Eventually I will be getting the Weber Carb so it won't matter.
I have a spare carb that I might be rebuilding here soon.
