Zap, were you at shoreline community college by any chance on monday? My wife goes there and she sent me a pic of a silver hatch that looks an awful lot like yours

So i got the idle down to about 800!!! The only thing is is that i had to back that choke cam adjustment screw almost all the way out. It runs great however i think im gonna look into the operation of that cam a little more. Thank you VERY much for all your help!

i was messing with that screw the other day and the weird thing is that it wasnt screwed in at all. the only thing stopping the throttle when it closes is the screw that stops against the choke. i let that screw out and it did not effect the way it ran

Good news! im making progress! still not fixed but getting close. I disconnected the throttle cable and sure enough the car started idling between 2000-2500.( better than 3200!) but i just can't seem to figure out why it's still idling that high. I feel like an idiot admitting this but i cannot for the life of me find an idle adjustment screw on the carb. thank you for those schematics but they are to small to read. it would be great if anybody had a bigger diagram

I have removed a couple of hoses here and there and capped them with my finger to feel how much suction there is. The vacuum is really low, is this normal? I thought it should suck pretty hard

i actually was just messing with that screw last night and nothing happened. this is why im so baffled, i can open the first butterfly valve in the carb all the way and it doesn't change the way it runs. the throttle acts as if it's sticking if i rev it up because it drops back down to 3200 slowly, but i cant find anything in the linkage that is causing it to bind.

I'm a newbie to these carbs. what and where is the high idle rod and mechanism?

I have an 82 GL 4wd wagon, EA81, and the carter carb, the car is idling at about 3200 RPM's consistently. will not go up or down unless in gear and driving. i cannot find any vacuum leaks, i just replaced a couple gaskets in the carb where there was one. i took off the choke thermostat thing on the side of the carb completely and started the car. still no change. I am stuck, please help with any advice you have.
