Hi. I recently finished a restoration of my '76 2002
When I finished the car, it ran great for about three or four days. Then it developed a fuel dilivery issue, so I flushed the tank, blew out all the lines, changed the filter, removed and cleaned the pick up, changed the fuel pump, and cleaned the carb. This seems to have solved the fuel dilivery issue, but now the car runs so lean it will harldy idle
I know it's lean because if I close the choke butterflies almost all the way, blocking off most of the air entering the carb, the idle smooths out, and the engine runs much better. I've tried another identicle carb, and had the exact same results.
The engine was totally rebuilt, with high compression pistons, but otherwise it is all stock. Both carbs are Weber 32/36, one was on the car when I bought it, and the other was on another 2002 that we used for parts. This is the first carburetted car I've worked on (I mostly work on imports) so I'm not to familiar with carbs in general. Any help would be apprectiated. Thank, Graham
