For all Felicia/Frman With Carb.

i was doing regular maintenance on my car an decided to clean out the carburetor. i have always sufer from shaky idle (no so bad) and a lag in aceleration, also my car was not mixing fuel right, tail pipe and plugs told me it was running to rich and the feel of the car told me i was running to lean.

#1, if your carb base is plastik (black) clean it out well and make sure is air tight, i did it with a paste mechanics use to fit gaskets.

#2, the diafram on the side of the carb is driven by a spring and vacuum, make sure the spring is not too tight and that the vacuum path is as clean as posible, also if the two seals look beat, replace them. (they cost nothing)

#3, Carb engines run on a mix of arround 13:1 instead of stoli, if by opening the idle mix screw 4 full turns your engines does not run well, service your carb.

#4, Spark is everything for FE on carb, even if mix is off, Timing and good spark will save your FE so make sure you have a Sharp BLUE spark

#5, Always use a filter for gas and air, Jikov can get dirty quite fast

#6, make sure secondary closes completly, even when close some air will pass, make it as minimum as posible

#7, fit a Lambda sensor and a fuel mix Gauge (optionaly a vacuum gauge) by doing this your FE is going to go up the roof

Happy New Year
