Alright so in short, after fixing the transmission for the 3rd time and finally getting those hybrid gears to mesh right (don't let your friends help, they lose your gears...) I started the car. Now when I bought the car before I did any heavy mods to the carb, it always idled really high, 3-4k.. but I noticed the choke never opened more than a few millimeters, maybe 1/4 of inch at best. Now with everything seemingly fixed on the carb, if I start it up and open the choke to 1/4 of an inch she idles perfectly (all vacume and emissions are gone)...
800 rpm.
If I open the choke all the way, it dies out unless my foots on the gas. Sounds like a/f ratio problem right? I can idle up the car with the throttle adjustment screw to about 1600rpm and it'll run fine, but then the car isn't even running on the idle jet anymore, correct?
Thanks for the input guys!
