    Thank you SO much! My mechanic swore I needed a new carb, but all I really needed to do was make a couple simple adjustments. I think I still have a vacum leak somewhere, but this alone has saved me over $400 on a new carb! THANK YOU!

    • @madrox4132
      @madrox4132 10 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      inHg is inches mercury, a way to measure pressure. -29.92 inHg is full vacuum, 0 is atmospheric pressure at sea level and a positive reading would equal positive pressure. To use the gauge you simply connect it to a source of vacuum.

    Hi Eric, in the whole video you did not mention float level check/adjustment, and I was waiting for it since in my opinion this is the first basic settings you should check/correct when adjusting any carburettor. Often the lip/tongue part of a float can be bent to set the float level just right.
    Float level is important because it affects mixture richness along a very broad load range.

    Second comment. I have worked on modern cars for over 15 years. Those whom say that older vehicles were easy to work on are wrong. Modern vehicles have so much automated mechanisms that it is considerably much simpler to get the vehicle running smooth. A carbureted engine is so much more of a pain of the ass to work on and tune.

    I need to rebuild the carburetor from a 1982 Toyota Tercel with 3A-C engine.
    Being a California emissions spec, it has a heavy load of vacuum lines. No joke.
    Luckily from factory, the mixture adjustment screw is sealed and no one has been able to fiddle with it since factory, so that part is ok.
    The problem Im having is that at idle the emissions are high (around 800, it should be no greater than 120 HC) it will not pass emissions test.

  • @CarminesRCTipsandTricks
    @CarminesRCTipsandTricks 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Aren't Carburetors COOL!? 😊💯
    Instant gratification when set up right. Cheaper to run in the long haul than most EFI systems.
    One little note, you mentioned the Electric Choke Coil, and were 100% correct about it. You just didn't mention that it's only a quick warm-up system, for better economy/emissions.
    The Dashpot Tube, coming up from the Exhaust Manifold, actually supplies the heat to keep the Choke open when fully warmed up.
    I know that's probably irrelevant in this case, but since you do such a great job of educating the young guys, I felt like that detail was worth mentioning. 😉

    Intake vaccume means a strong intake stroke. A strong intake stroke can be influenced by a strong combustion stroke on another cylinder. So having good vacumme is a goid place to tune on. I use a wide band though.

    Thanks, need more videos like this, I was born in the 90s had no car guys in the family that were still alive and I always wanted an older car because the new ones both look ugly and because I wanted to save some of our heritage and keep it on the road, that being said I didn't know jack shit about carburetors and this helped me understand the various components of these complex mechanical devices, carbs were always something I was really into just because I mean.. think about all the parts in it just to give these massive machines life, that is probably the coolest thing about them and you know one day this could be a lost art, terrible!

    Pretty sure the throttle solenoid is for the prevention of "dieseling" when you shut the car off.
    Basically the idle screw is set to about 450 and the solenoid is set for 750 + or - and when the ignition is shut off the solenoid retracts and the base idle is achieved preventing the engine from "running on".
    If the solenoid fails the car will still idle when started but will be very slow indicating a solenoid failure.

  • @TakeDeadAim
    @TakeDeadAim 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The carb should be the LAST adjustment in the "chain". If you have a car with adjustable valve clearances...check those first. Second is any emission equipment. Move on to ignition timing, then carb adjustment last. Remember...on older cars use timing specs as a guideline. Don't simply set it to a published number. As these cars age there's "slop"(as noted in the timing chain)especially in the dizzy, so the timing will change as well.

    Thanks man. My 84 f150 just got a carb kit but the choke adjustment needs work.

      Did you ever get this fixed or figure out the issue

    I worked on some Japanese carbs, from the 80's and they were no where near as complex, in terms of the fast idle. They had a cable going to the dash.

    This was a REALLY helpful video for this new vintage car owner. I'd like to set the idle mixture as shown and am ready to go get a vacuum gauge, but I can't for the life of me find a place to tap into intake vacuum. Is it possible that my '67 Mustang with the 200ci inline six (with Autolite 1100 carb) just doesn't have a vacuum port on the intake manifold? I don't see anything at all.

    Ok this is a great vid. I have a 64 F100 that has a crazy (lurch ) when cold . Manual choke 2100 autolite carb. I am going to rebuild. Timing and points are good. Thoughts comments, suggestions. What to look for when rebuilding. New to me truck, any thoughts would be welcome.

    15 years ago I hear a guy in auto parts shop asking what type of oil is used to lubricate inside of a carb,he wanted gasoline to flow faster.
