    rich Idle
    « on: September 01, 2012 - 01:23:28 PM »
    Hi I was wondering if anyone could help me lean out my engine at idle.
    I have a Holley 860 (Pro System) 512 cu .  Timing is 24 at idle and 36 total.  I have turned the air mixture screws in , only as far without losing throttle responce. Air bleeds are .082 .(more air at idle)      Idle is 1000 rpm, still you can stand behind the car even when you are outside . Other than that the carb is perfect.  Any suggestions?


    thank you.

    Does the engine have a lope to it at idle ?
     it could be just the misfiring cylinder causing it to smell rich

    Is the idle smooth ?
    increase the airbleeds some more there should be an idle screw on the secondary side also made open that a bit more & close the front

    What vacuum do you have at idle ?
     Is the powrvalve closed , it needs to be at least 1.5 " lower than your idle vacuum in gear
