Guest oldmobile1 Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 HELP!! I've been trying to get the flat spot out of my carb, to no avail. I've adjusted every thing on the carb according to my Motors manual, and the spec sheet that came with the rebuild kit. Fall's flat on it's face off of idle. I got it better, but not right. I have to feather the accelerator to get it to go. Can any one help?? Thanks, Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillV Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Have you tried turning the idle jets in front of the carb out about 1/2 turn?Another possible cause could be your timing. Adjust distributor a bit clockwise.Bill V.1950 Olds 88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron of Chicago Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Are you sure it's fuel related? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest oldmobile1 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Fuel system is new, tank, lines, fuel pump etc. installed a pertronex unit, checked all electrical wires and cables, I think it is in my carb. I going to send for another zip kit and rebuild it a gain, may have got an old kit last go round. They are not the easiest carb to adjust. Thanks for the feed back though, I'm open to all ideas.
