I been having an ongoing problem with my 87 Accord it runs great but sometimes just won't idle. It comes and goes this last time I checked and changed the filters and plugs also sprayed a bunch of carb cleaner in and it seems to be better but not where it was.
Are these carbs rebuildable? I saw they have reman carbs for 300.00 + bucks heck I only paid 200.00 for the whole car.
Thanks for any help.

The odds are you can fix the idle problem without rebuilding/replacing the carb.

Check out the shop manual at the top of this forum. Read the section on carb fuel emissions/idling and there are some adjustments/tests to check for vacuum leaks. It's free, so worth a shot before you spend any money.

Also go to the CARB TECH forum and look at the sticky posts, they will help too.
