Idle speed and idle mixture are the two most common adjustments made to carburetors, and these adjustments start by warming up the vehicle to full engine-operating temperature. Find out how to perform a lean-drop adjustment with help from an ASE-certified master automobile technician in this free video on carburetors.

@killertctma Yeah

Ok so I try to set the idle speed screw but its backed out all the way and its still idling too high. Any help?
i got the same problem !
i got a problem,
i a’m restoring a little Opel Corsa 1.2 ’92
and i cleaned the carburetor.
but when i was finished, i started en when i got my foot off the trottle, it “shuts down”..
help me please
carbrators are better you got better gass milage back then vs now.
I had that trouble on my Mazda pickup. It had a random misfire from bad plug wires and a slightly too lean of a mixture and incorrect idle speed. Oh and a vacuum leak. If I were you, I’d check to make sure that all cylinders have good compression, then check to make sure that they all have good spark. Then I’ll check for a vacuum leak and lastly do what this video shows and it’ll run perfect.
Can you help me guys my car is Renault 19 1.7 CC motor F2N carburetor SOLEX 32/34 Z13
problems is : the RPM is not (( stable ) for example its start 800 RPM then after few minutes it become 700 then it back to 800 this make the Engine noise
my Question can tuning the idle mixture fix this problem
i have some photos for the same carb type

please advice
Hey, i got one question i need solved! I was test driving my truck for the first time last night and after driving 1 mile it seemed to bog out and had no throttle response. after i realized it stalled i pulled it over and it had a really rough time trying to start and i had to wait 10 minutes to get it going again another mile. I have replaced the fuel pump, filter, carburetor, lines, almost everthing except for the tank. could you help me out? its a 4 barrel rodchester quadrajet.
you can alsoc use a vacumm gauge to do this…
Dude you should make a video, it will help a lot.
My old Fiat 132 2000 became troublesome after the last repair and i don’t know why :s . It used to be stable after i start the engine, now it starts and it wanna turn off unless i hit the gas paddle for about 10 min, it never did that b4, any idea why?
i will appreciate any help, thanks.
dont tune the idle mixture according to idle RPM like stated in this video. You tune for optium manifold vacuume at idle RPM and raise the mixture until CFM does not incresse. The only reason for using a tach is to monitor and readjust idle speed as you change the mixture keeping it at the desired idle speed.
Respond to this video…
And before you do anything take note of the turns of each and every screw by turning them in till it seats and counting the turns while you do that.
These few lines beat the video on any given sunday!
i need help fixing adjustting my dual carbs on my datsun 240 can someone please email me at josho_112@yahoo . com
nothing said on this about fast idle or low idle ,fast idle cam, choke setting and choke unloader??? Idle speed and idle mixture may be the most common adjustments yes but starting from a dead cold engine you need to know the choke and choke unloader is going to do its job ,,or its gonna run like crap and flood whether idle speed and mixture are adjusted or not.
Very good informative video. Clear instructios and made simple.
Thanks Very Much
right idea, but wrong. First, with the engine warm, shut it down. Turn each idle screw all the way in, then back out about 3 full turns. This ensures that both barrels are set equally. Balance is important. Start the engine, high idle at 2k for 15 sec. Set the idle speed. Then turn each mixture screw OUT 1/4 turn at a time and note RPM INCREASE! If no increase, turn IN and note increase. At max idle speed, readjust the speed to spec. NOW turn each idle screw slightly IN to RPM drop spec..
What is the name of the device you used in this video, that shows the rpms. I thought about borrowing one to adjust my truck.
SIR. THIS IS A BERY GOOD VIDEO THANK YOU!!
wow car got warmmed up in 10 sec lolz
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!
hello mechanic man. i have a 87chev coupe caprice with a 305. 4 barrel carb that idlels high wat should i do so i can pass emission?
A lot simpler than in later years where you used propane enrichment or set the idle speed higher by 50 or so rpm then lean dropped it to the final rpm. And then there were the choke adjustments-too lean from early 70′s on and very conservative spark timing advance. How did cars that ran poorly from these kind of goofy tuning specs put out fewer emissions? Let’s see, 1967 automobile 21 mpg but dirty, 1974 of the same model 10 mpg and slower than dirt but less polution. Never could figure it out.
Not exactly true to the original….but I wouldn’t kick it out of my driveway.
@RamblinAround Based on a 1976 Lincoln What Model Chassis?
Awesome
I’m running right out and putting fins on my 98 escort, that’ll do
i love these cars
cool
This Batmobile was the best! Sometimes I wish I could own one like the guy on the movie Rockstar!
I want one.
My thoughts exactly. The real Batman didn’t need a padded suit…
Pure. West.
screw the tumbler I’d take that any day!
radeon hd 4890 alike. damn that in indde need. IM batman
Thanks for checking it out!
always thought it would be cool to have one,but here it would not be feasible do to Winter and the Batman thing is gone away. nice repro though.
Id say its cheap at that price. And @ hamtrak, if you look at the original car it does appear to have a shifter similar to a B&M Bang Shifter.
Yes but will it blend?
Nice paint
Does anyone one know who made this car & how i can get in contact with them
This is rad, my only issue is the 1989 Batman next to the car. What??? N love for Mayor West!
of course it’s a B&M shifter. Stands for BatMan.
The original batmobile with a DVD player? They must be kidding, not even a compact cassette player was inside
It’s totally fabulous! What a great replica(r).
How many times does this guy say, “Cool”??
Still, it really IS!!
Congrats to the builders. A true labor of love. Brilliant!!!
(and UNDER priced!!)
i trade you this batmobile for my Ford Fiesta xD
Thanks for taking a look at it!
I’M THROWING MY MONEY AT THE SCREEN: WHY IT DOESN’T WORK?
how much would u offer at a minimum for an auction? cause ive seen many videos of people that made it from a kit kar, so they’re not the rarest but still amazing this is my alltime favorite car!!!!!!!!!
