<VV> can't seem to idle down

[J. R. Read]

Rose,
 
I've not had a PG Corvair for a long time, but IIRC the final adjustments are made with the car in drive and the parking brake set. 

Later, JR

Hello there folks.  My name is Shawn from Calgary, Alberta  and I have a '66
monza 2 dr 110 hp pq.  I have owned this car for about 8 years now.  I have
been reading your posts for a good number of years as well.

Sometimes with a laugh or an oh my goodness, but enjoy reading them all.  My
question I have is, after rebuilding the carbs, replacing all the gaskets,
insulators, vacuum hoses and modulator, and balancing the carbs,  I can't
get it to idle to a nice low idle.  If I set it down to around 650 rpm, it
idles alright, but when I put it into drive it idles down to around 300 rpm
and dies out.  So I have it set higher so I can drive it.  Even on start up,
after a few moments of warm up, it doesn't kick down very much.  But there
is no after burn when I shut the car off.  I have been playing around with
it for a couple years now, but need more help.  Any suggestions.

Thanks for your time

Shawn 

Calgary, Alberta
