Does adjusting the air fuel mixture change the Idle? This is a one barrel carb, and the adjustment on it is simple. Adjust the mixture screw in or out till u achieve max idle speed, and open an additional 1/8th turn perhaps. If the engine doesnt respond much, as u adjust the air fuel mix in either direction, u likely need to rebuild that carb!!


:I have a 1974 Maverick with the 250 1bbl straight 6. When the vehicle is cold it idles well. When the car heats up it acts like it wants to die and it does very often. I have just tuned the vehicle up. I bought it after it had set for 2 years. Everything looks fine. It is getting air, gas and spark. I have no idea what the hell is going on. My guess is a vacuum problem. Anyone with information that can help please reply to this post. I have to run emissions tommarow and I need the answer like right now.
