My 77 experiences high acceleration when idling and when touching the throttle at times. Engaging the choke seems to help out the idle and random acceleration. I'm trying to get a synch tool from a mechanic. But he also suggested that the valves might need adjustment. Any advice what it might be?
Things i've done:
Check for air leaks (haven't found any as of now)
Check air filter ( brand new/stock)
tune idle and rpm needles ( got it very rich and then very lean, still same problem)
Check throttle cable (no obstructions)
That's all i have for now.
a crappy mechanic said he gave the carburetor a "service" however, based on the work he did and other lies he told me, I have no idea if he actually did or what he has done to it. So i didn't take it completely apart and cleaned as much as i could.
The major difference is that when it's cold, it idles and throttles well when it starts heating up and running the idle shoots up and hangs there (4-5k rpms)
Thanks in advance for your help.
