Car dying in idle after carb rebuild

[Anay]

Hi guys,

Anay here with a Solex H30/31 carb, that I did an express clean for (new gaskets etc… It was already in pretty good shape, but after reattaching, idle screw 6 full turns out, the car strangely dies after hang at about 1000 RPMs… Maybe after only 4 minutes. Thoughts?

Happy to chat with anyone if they have a minute, total newbie.

May have fixed it… Couldn’t have been the Fast Idle Adjuster? That screw on the throttle that hits the cam? Could that have been the reason? If the screw was way too loose?

Could be. You want to set the idle on a warm engine. Cold fast idle should be like 1400. The Muir book has the procedure. Don’t skip any steps!

There are u tube videos that will get you through anything including carb adjustment fuel pump repair/ replace etc

Thanks! Think it was the fast idle adjuster screw! But will check the fuel pump as well 🙂
