Probem Resolved

[89HondaLegend]

Well guys, it is all done. Got the Accord back together and running. Took me 6 hours to take the head and everything else off and 6 hours to put it all back together. Mind you in probably only took 5 hours when you take into account toilet stops, lunch and what not.
So as you can see by the pictures it came up pretty good, got to give the engine bay a good scrub now and sell it :P
Going to get a Prelude or a Legend Coupe. Certainly wasn't going to sell it for $400 that is for sure.
So here is some pictures and a short video.
By the way the mixture screw, if I got the right one, was screwed out 7.5 turns. So I need to know if that is right or whether I even have the right screw??? Also You may note in the short movie, the idle is high, it always goes like that whether it is warmed up or not. Anybody got any suggestions as to what might cause it to idle at about 1500-2000 RPM at random?

Thanks for your help to, great forum







Wasn't sure whether or not to take the plastic off the new gasket so I just left it on.

I think he's being funny.

Anyways the high idle, and up and down idle can be from the diaphragm on the throttle cable side for the carb.
However there is usually a problem like a vacuum leak or bad carb adjustment that is the actual problem, it's not usually the diaphragms fault.

Also could be the fast idle
