Hello Everybody.
I would really appreciate any insight on a problem I have. I seem to have lost my idle.
Car: 1982 Starlet KP61. Engine: 4K-C (California) with Aisan 2-Barrel Carburetor. Idled "OK" with original carb.
The car was running only OK, so I thought a reman carb would be a good idea. Reman carb would not idle. Frustrated, I put the old carb back on. Old carb will not idle. So I started all over.
1) I adjusted the mixture screw by the book 2) The idle speed screw has no effect until it is turned up to the point where it bypasses the idle circuit. 3) The car starts, revs, and runs just fine - it just won't idle.I've checked and rechecked the vacuum hose routing and it's all there. What else would cause this problem? I'm stumped. I'm hoping for the "That happened to me and I just..." answer.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
