Thread: Help...Backfire now = high idle..

    While I had the carbs off, I did notice on one, the secondaries were open a little, backed off the set screws so they were closed. While the carbs are empty of fuel, its easier to adjust. Adjusted carbs to match opening of both primaries and secondaries. Whats confusing me is the secondaries are shut tight, and I can back off the primaries all the way, and still high idle. I will check for bet or offset butterflies.

    You don't want the secondaries shut all the way, that's the trick. They need to be open just a hair so you get some fuel down those venturies. That will richen the mixture up and idle down. Sounds backward, but it works.

    After mine were bent, I bent them back then adjusted them as far closed as I could without them sticking when trying to open, that solved the problem.
