i wake up this mornin to go to school and my car wont idle? it worked good b4... except that it was sputerin alot and it backfires when i get off the gas. and it idles like a volkwagen bug. putt putt putt BOOM!! putt putt putt... so what keeps it from idleing? i didnt worry bout the carb cuz a weber is on the way... so why wont it idle? it starts and hits 2000 then drops to zero. it also is smellin very rich. i got out the car and i smell like gas! :wtf: this is so shitty...

no... the car runs strong but it dont idle. it backfires tho... so i think the carb isnt getting enuff fuel... when i get the weber i will change all filters and it should be better. i will also be getting a hi po fuel pump inline so it will definetly be gettin enough fuel!

oh, check the bacuum lines. on the right side of the carb( where the brake syliner is) you should be able to find a vacuum tree. that is black plastic thing what has many vacuum lines come in and out. make sure it is not broken. it broke on me, and it missfiring and wasn't holding the idle.
