Idle question (carb related)

Mar 07, 2004 0 Replies

I have read about modern fuel injected Volvos having a tendency of getting a rough idle if the trottle body is full of crud, thus in need of cleaning every now and then. I have a Stromberg CD175 carb which never has been cleaned inside. Well, not quite since I once cleaned the piston which was very dirty. My question: Will I notice an improvement over my present rough idle if I clean the interior of the carb incl the idle bypass system, or do I just have to live with the rough idle of a carb system?
