Last thing keeping my car off the road

[Buzo]

Well, play & learn from your spare carb. This screw is really hard to reach in the car, so take your time!
There are several other actuators that mess with the throttle, but this one is the key to keep the car running. Assuming the fuel side is OK, of course.
The other ones are just to "enhance" the performance and we can explain you what they are for, if interested.

So its still doing the fuel dumping thing, so it's time for a rebuild instead. Not nearly as difficult as everyone made it out to be. I'm just finishing putting things back together. Any tips for when I first start it up? Is there anything special I should do?

You rebuild the carb? Just pray. LOL

I would cycle the key to ON and ACC a couple of times to prime fuel pump to fill the fuel bowl but thats about it. Just pray xD

But I agreed with the rebuild being pretty easy provided that you know what you're doing and know how things work.

Hah! So the replacement carb had never been rebuilt. The original carb had. Poorly. A tab was broken off the float, not to mention that the ear holding the pin on which the float pivots had been broken off also and then epoxy'd back on. The replacement was clean on the outside and worn on the inside. Definitely needed a rebuild. But now is all done. Just have to mount it back on the car, probably on Thursday. I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed. Thanks for you guy's support. Hopefully soon I can stop bitching about this thing and actually drive it.
