lol. so true. it’s so refreshing to drive with a non sticky throttle though. maybe i’ll do the fuel filter too now and see if my consumption goes up from 7 mpg :D

Reviving an old thread, but I am looking for a replacement for 44773-60140, which is the hose from the brake booster to the carburetor (actually, the manifold, just under the carb). It's discontinued and despite multiple online stores claiming stock, all come back as cancelled if ordered. Can...

Dev version and production deployment. :D

I am happy to report I have reconsidered my approach to life and realized that old cars don’t need to have problem root cause analysis - fix the problem and move on, something else will probably imminently come up that needs attention anyway. I checked when it was over revving, and noticed that...

I have one. Curious to compare notes, please share.

It’s fortunate I have the old carb on my desk … at least I can practice without hanging Spider-man style into the engine bay :D

Honestly? It was literally my first thought like MONTHS ago when I started thinking about this, but how would I even know? It's a brand new carb, one would think the spring is a fairly basic item that should .. just work :( I wonder if I can swap the spring from my old carb without removing the...

I think I have some further insight on this after taking a video inside the engine bay. Diaphragm 21698 (bottom left): seems to be tapping the throttle when holding high revs, but then it disengages BUT the throttle does not return to its zero position anymore - it stays at some arbitrarily...

There is. It is functioning correctly.

Ok. Confirmed the fast idle cam does not seem to be affecting this (took a video of the carb in operation - the vacuum correctly sucks in the FICB and sits with it disengaged till the engine stops). Choke remains open the entire way. (engine is hot). Can still replicate RPMs sticking at 2,000...

Yes, there is a fast idle cam, and there is a vacuum actuator called the FICB - fast idle cam breaker - that moves it. It's on the list of things for me to test (getting late here so I won't do it today, but tomorrow I will try). I haven't verified if the choke is open: I need to remove the air...

Yeah, went for a drive, it's not materially different. I haven't been able to make it rev to 5,000 like it did before, and I also have a bit "less" sticking, but: - it idles at around 1,000-1,200 unless it sticks, in which case wherever it is, BUT - tapping the throttle - more often than not -...

Correct, but on top of that, it SEEMS that it only starts doing it when vacuum comes into play; I just tried playing with the throttle when engine was off, and no issue. But when engine on, it would stick. I did just find that the AAP vacuum was disconnected; I want to say "I may have forgotten...

Wait. It’s behaving perfectly with the engine off. Vacuum issue?

Choke is still attached - I took off the whole carb, cleaned it (it was pretty clean though), replaced the gaskets, fixed a bunch of coolant leaks and thought this would solve the problem (since there was coolant in the manifold). Even with the engine off though, it feels sticky the last couple...
