tunin a 2v carb

[xoxbxfx]

Anyone have some suggestions where to start? The car runs but really choppy. Im going to check for vaccuum leaks but the carb just needs to be tuned.

Thanks

Why do you think the carb needs tuning? Quite often, what people think is a carb problem, turns out to be something else. What exactly are the symptoms, and what are we working on?

use a vacum guage on the full vacuum port and adjust the idle mixture screws until you get the highest possible vacuum reading. But first make sure th dwell and timing are set correctly.

That's great if you know there's no vacuum leaks, you know the float's set correctly, the carb hasn't been "played with" and if all you're trying to do is set a decent idle. Personally, I'd like a little more info about what the symptoms are and what we're actually working on.
