It's oem looking Asian carburetor. It runs and can drive it. Need to slightly choked to stay running smoothly and from the exhaust tail you tell it's just not correct . It would probably take someone with the knowledge 10mins. to adjust it. I just don't want to make it worse or bring it to the point of no return . Oh it's a 79. Thanks..What year, what carb, what's the issue? Lots of guys on here that could probably help with some basic information.

Thanks for the tip / adviceProbably not something that can be adjusted away; the only things easily adjustable on these carbs are the idle air mixture and the idle speed.
The first thing I would suspect given your symptoms is a vacuum leak; at the base of the carb, at the intake manifold, or at the brake booster. Spray some carb cleaner or wd-40 on these locations with the engine running; if the rpm varies when you do, you have found a vacuum leak.
This video is very helpful. Search lean drop method which is what he's illustrating
But, Where/ How do you hook up the digital tachometer?
Thanks, I want to try it.Usually on the negative terminal of the ignition coil.
