Carb Blues, Gonna Let It Go

Listen to Mullinex95, and check fuel filter and fuel pump and be sure they're good to go, then set up carb. Make sure ignition is in good order and fuel is good. Then if carb won't idle and work properly exchange it. As stated above this all can be done in about an hour and now would be a good time to ask your brother for a hand. Buy some beer and get it done.
If you think that getting this Valiant running right is a problem, wait until you have a problem with a mid-ninties Civic and see what it costs you. Why do you think the tow driver is so willing to trade? Just my opinion, Mike
