hi, new here and glad i found a specific forum for this car. I was hoping there might be a common problem or something to check on this.
i got the accoard a few years ago from an older friend who had owned it most of its life and taken good care of it. its only got 160k and everything is in pretty decent shape.
its a manual, has good compression, yet it gets 22mpg on the highway, the exhaust smells super rich. i took the carb apart becsuse i had it sitting a while and it wouldnt start, and replaced the emulsion tube? gaskets / o rings, and cleaned all the jets and passages / etc, otherwise it looked fine, its aparently a recently rebuilt carb. ive heard these carburators.can be a problem, but i really dont want to invest in a weber or something like.that for this car. It is a california model btw.
ive looked.at the vaccum nest somewhat closely and i cant see any obvious leeks. iv
any suggestions on what i should check yet or what might be the problem?
thanks allot
