Bouncing idle?

Post by Familyguy78 »

Hi I just finished rebuilding my carb, I followed Robert's video, but I may have switched the 2 white with black stripe wires going to the fuel cut solenoids, and now my idle bounces around until the engine stalls. Any ideas? I tried searching 'bouncing idle' and got no good leads.

Bouncing idle was either the ebcv hoses being switched, or the fuel cut solenoid wires being switched. It runs well now, but I still need to adjust the float level, it's just below the notches in the window. Save that for another, less rainy, day
