Repaired Carburetor With Carb Kit. Need To Tune It.
Wondering if anyone could help me. It would be greatly appreciated.
I repaired my carburetor by purchasing a carb kit. I've also replace the rubber seat the carburetor sits on. The issue I'm left with now is most probably a carburetor tune as the car does not want to idle. I'm having a hard time getting it to start as well. Once started I have to rev it to keep it idling. As soon as I let go of the accelerator though the car cuts out. it starts, idles for 5 seconds and cuts out. Also, before it actually starts it stutters terribly, slowly building up to an idle with a puff of smoke.
I suspect this has something to do with the air/fuel mixture and I need to tune the carb.
I have no idea how to do that though. When fiddling with the two screws, one at the top of the carb and the other at the back, I'm adding to my frustration as the car seems to flood itself after my attempts.
I would appreciate it if anybody can provide me with a step by step guide on how to tune this carburetor. Please bare in mind that I do not own any specialized tools. I'm merely using a flat screwdriver for this adjustment and playing the rest by ear.
Thanks in advance.
