Carburetor Adjustment Basics -EricTheCarGuy

1. I love your videos. I have a motorcraft 4350 and can't seem to adjust the choke to where it is as loose to the touch as yours is in this video. Does the choke only affect the car during cold starting or does it also affect it in some way while driving? I hope I didn't screw mine up lol.

2. I like this tutorial, no flashy stuff with just a guy who works on his own car. I will never have a carbureted car but I want an older model motorcycle so thanks Eric

3. When you say “hot start”. How long does a carburetor car is considered hot? I know weather comes into play but what’s the time.

4. Good stuff!

5. There are so many instructions you can read and so many videos, but the little gem that makes this one so much more realistic and valuable "I don't think that's intake vacuum".

6. Didn’t realize he was wearing gloves for a few seconds

7. Took a while to shift into 4

8. Aren't Carburetors COOL!? 😊💯
   Instant gratification when set up right. Cheaper to run in the long haul than most EFI systems.

   One little note, you mentioned the Electric Choke Coil, and were 100% correct about it. You just didn't mention that it's only a quick warm-up system, for better economy/emissions.
   The Dashpot Tube, coming up from the Exhaust Manifold, actually supplies the heat to keep the Choke open when fully warmed up.
   I know that's probably irrelevant in this case, but since you do such a great job of educating the young guys, I felt like that detail was worth mentioning. 😉

14. This video saved me so much time and trouble with my 78 Subaru Brat. Really great job explaining! Thanks so much

15. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I'll feel much more comfortable rebuilding and adjusting my carburetor. My '71 Gremlin has needed this for a very long time, the rebuild and the adjustment. Also glad you used a one-barrel Ford, since it is quite similar to my Carter YF.

16. My engine is dieseling, what to I do?

17. I have a 71 ford Ltd with a 5.8 the highest I got it to was 16 psi of vacuum is that fine

18. Watching from Kenya and with what you just shared I have positioned my choke and adjusted air fuel mixture screws, mind you am not a mechanic….Thank you so much

19. can i tune the carb with out an intake vacuum gauge?

20. As usual very well Explained, One of the best,

21. I put my idle at 1000. It runs smooth at that point. Specs for my car are hard to find

22. My 1981 cutlass supreme has flames that come out from the carburetor and it only stays on when i hold the gas. What can i do?

23. This adjustment pretty much the same on a holley 5200 pinto carb??

24. Thanks good info. about carburetors, you must have diesel shop seen all the big trucks.

25. fix or repair daily

26. I am.facing the.problem of auto choke my car engine Toyota Corolla 2E when i start the car its vacuum pulls choke braker atonce i think it should pull.it slowly with coolant temperature please help me in this regard

27. Thank you SO much! My mechanic swore I needed a new carb, but all I really needed to do was make a couple simple adjustments. I think I still have a vacum leak somewhere, but this alone has saved me over $400 on a new carb! THANK YOU!

28. Man! Adjusting a carb is one thing. Adjusting a carb to pass California smog is another.

29. Have you ever had a yfa with pop rivits in the top screw holes?

30. What’s the reason to ground the coil?

31. Thank you for your vids, sir.

32. 87 mopar 2bbl lean burn pleesch ! 🤙

33. I have a Ford with a 170. It doesn't like to start when it's hot. What causes this?

34. Thank you for the video.. just a question.. why would you want to ground out the coil?

35. I have an 87 Jeep Wrangler are you familiar with Wranglers it was the first 87 computer and I bought the Jeep and these mechanics rip everything out now I'm trying to fix it myself with the electronic choke and I hope what you showed me on the video will help me

36. Great video! Thanks for actually showing everything as you go, instead of just talking about it. Very helpful.

37. I would like to ask, I have a rich smell when high rpm with my car, I checked exhaust system no problem with it, I checked leakage of fuel, no leak, I changed oil type because it had some smell too, but I think I have a problem with carburetor adjustment, what do you advise?
