Hi folks, i have a J20 (1975) and although she runs well the idle is too fast and will not settle down, i have tried all the obvious external options, is this a carb off situation, if so where do you think the problem might be?
On the port side of the motor, there's a little gear that pivots as the throttle is moved. It should have a plastic adjusting screw (usually broken). Back that out, and see if that helps. You should be able to adjust it to the point where it shuts off.
cheers man, i backed that off already, ive got in on remotes so i made shure all the linkages were free first off, i might have to bite the bullet and whip the carb off
Unhook the remotes and then try the adjustment. You're problem could quite likely be in the remotes... And some remotes have an adjustment also. Look there.
