CARB TUNING 

 

Before adjusting any of these screws run the car till the cooling fan comes on ! 

1. IDLE MIXTURE SCREW : ( Air Fuel ratio , A/F ) ( ON ALL MODELS ) 

The IDLE MIXTURE SCREW is located behind the carb in a hole . as you can see it marked in that picture .

 

To adjust the IDLE MIXTURE SCREW use a screw driver and turn it clockwise and counterclockwise until you get the highest RPM possible ! , after that press the gas to 3000 RPM to richen the  Air Fuel mixture .

2. STOP THROTTLE SCREW SCREW : ( a screw with a plastic head )( all models)  

This screw is just located above the hole of the IDLE MIXTURE SCREW see pictures below 

 2 different procedures for this screw ! 

PROCEDURE # 1 ( if you have the IDLE CONTROL SCREW in # 3 ) : 

adjust the STOP THROTTLE SCREW by hand to the lowest idle possible ( counterclockwise ) 

PROCEDURE # 2 ( if you DON'T have the IDLE CONTROL SCREW in # 3 ) : 

adjust the STOP THROTTLE SCREW by hand to the desired RPM ( 750 > 800 RPM ) 

 

3. IDLE CONTROL SCREW : ( NOT ON ALL MODELS ) ( I don't have it ) 

 After adjusting the STOP THROTTLE SCREW  to the lowest idle possible in PROCEDURE # 1 adjust this screw using a screwdriver to the desired RPM ( 750 > 800 RPM ) 

This IDLE CONTROL SCREW is located on the throttle bracket after the throttle adjustment nut , it should be in the marked area ( but as you can see i don't have it )

 

 

4. FAST IDLE SCREW : ( ON ALL MODELS ) ( Works in the cold morning )

 This screw adjusts the RPM that car should rev at in cold mornings it should be from 2000 > 3000 RPM

this screw is really hard to find and reach , i just found it today !!! here is the area that it should be in ! 

you can adjust it by a screwdriver but you can only test it in the mornings ( don't mess with it if it is ok , & spray some carb cleaner to get better response in the mornings )

4. A/C IDLE SCREW : ( ON MODELS EQUIPPED WITH A/C ) ( Works in when A/C ON )

 This screw adjusts the RPM when the A/C is on !

just adjust with a screwdriver , clockwise to increase RPM and counterclockwise to decrease !

i think the normal RPM is 1250 > 1500 RPM ( correct me if i am wrong )
