    its starting again

    my carb's been running pretty good until yesterday when i turned the engine on the idle was at around 750 and it seems like its gonna stall, so i push the gas hard and rev it up 3000 rpm and its still the same. I noticed some screws on the side of the carb.(this is from standing infront of the car looking straight at the carb) left side of the carb screw? right side of the carb screw? can someone please tell me what they're for and how i should adjust it?
    I heard one of them is the air/fuel or something? do i adjust it while the engine is still running?

    most likely you just need to adjust your idle, fast idle speeds.
    your best bet would be to pick up haynes manual and read it.

    hey Accord EX, i think i got the same car like yours except that mines 86 and automatic hehe. I brought it to a mechanic and he cleaned the carb up and messed with some screw i couldnt see what it was and its working good now, but i still wanna know how to tune it myself cause i dont wanna be wasting $25 aus everytime i bring it to the mechanic, i went to your how-to tune the carb but the pictures didnt show up? The pictures were all fortune city or something? Is it my browser?
