<VV> There is always that one Corvair

[N2VZD TIM]

 Try "cuffing" the carbs , hold your hand over top while running at a fast idle. That stirs things up in the bowl. NOT like a choke on. Very old time trick that works more often than not.

 For cars that have sat for a while, I've often found the idle circuits get clogged.  A blast of carb cleaner down the holes in the venturi clusters usually clears things up.

> Hello,I am asking all you seasoned Corvair Mechanics if you have ever had a Corvair that just won't idle.  You check everything and everything is good.  It will start; however, when you come to a stop it will not idle.  We have two Corvairs like this.  What do you check out when this happens to you?  Please number these suggestions so that I can make a good list in my newsletter.  Start with number 1 and think of as many things that you would check out as you can.  Example:  1.  Check if not out of gas.  2.  Check if out of oil.  3.  Check timing. 4.  Etc. Hope someone comes up with one that we might have overlooked. June BugWFCC Chronic Corvair
