Hi everyone. I need some wisdom. I have solved the fuel line issue but now my carb needs some adjusting... I think. Here's the symptoms.
Cold - Everything is fine, the car runs like a champ.
Hot - The idle surges and dies out in a rhythmic fashion... like it's flooding out over and over again. It's also running quite rich. If you leave it too long it eventually stalls... if you're driving and slow down it stalls (i.e. at any stop or when cruising around a residential neighbourhood and coming to a turn or something).
I'm wondering if this an air fuel mixture and/or hot idle setting issue... and if so how do I adjust these properly without having to attach a tach?
Just a reminder, my car is an 85 Crown Vic with a 302 and a 2bbl Carb. [That's how some of them came in Canada ]
