mccartney11 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Dropped another 2e into the starlet, swapped everything over now it's idling high, as if throttle is sticking, what could have caused this? Choke pulled half way out does not affect it and when pulled out fully is starts to splutter as she's running lean...adjusting idle screw did nothing either ... What can I try nowSo far I've checked vacuums , rooted at idling screw, set ignition timing points with the timing light Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 gasket leak after carb or vac leak Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mccartney11 Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 I put a new gasket on when I first fitted and it done it, then put a lock of gasket sealer on and let it set then tried and it still did it:( checked the pipes they're all plumbed right how would I check for leaks along the pipes? Wd40? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 use quick start or the likes spray over the spots you think might leak if there is aleak the revs will rise also worth trying first is rev it a tat and put your hand over the hole you might hear a/the leak Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mccartney11 Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 yeah see its up at about 1900-2000 revs and when you pull off it sounds fine ,then you clutch in it stays at 2k Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 did you chek the choke mechanism on the carb if that isnt drawing ???? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mccartney11 Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 Choke mechanism seems fine opens and closes perfectly Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PaddyDoyle Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 guarantee you its the vacuum fellas on the side of the carb. Has happened all my carbs at some stage.You can screw them back to idle lower but they'l still hold revs changing gears. I ended up bypassing it. Comes off with 2 screws. The one on the right hand side has been the one at fault in any ive had. You'll need to reset the idle screw doe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mccartney11 Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 which vacuums are you talking about lad? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PaddyDoyle Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 On the right hands side when your looking at the carb theres one of those vacuum pressure yokes and theres a pipe feeding back into the back of the carb just pull the pipe and un-screw the 2 screws on the bracket on top of the carb. You'll need to take off the whole airbox to get at them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
