so,
i'm running a carb on my engine and just recently i've noticed that after turning off the ignition it will turn over a time or two; kind of "rumble" to a stop.
i've also noticed that my idle is kind of high, but not always. sometimes it idles around 900...usually it's at 1200...and recently it's been getting "stuck" around 1500
could this have anything to do with the electric choke? i was told to depress the gas pedal once before starting it to activate it.
i checked the accelerator cable, no hang ups or anything.
here's a pic of the carb. i know it's a POS, but the car is running great, it's just the idle and the every-so-often cut off weirdness that's bothering me.

nonetheless, i'm considering putting a d-tronic on my 1.8...i have the FI in my garage...but should i just wait and get the proper l-tronic system? that would be another $250 out of my pocket....worth it in the long run?
can't decide!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
thank you for your input gentleman

on the topic of water injection, i had a buddy that had a datsun 210 and hooked up the windshield washer line into the carb with a fan nozzle and put denatured alcohol into the reservior. that thing would FLY when he pulled the 'booster lever'

dunno how good it was for the engine, but it was friggen cool the alcohol would evaporate out of the reservoir pretty fast, but while it was there it was a blast!

the chokes are right above the throttle plates, they are right at the top of the carb and are the first things you see when you pull off the filter. mine always sit at something of an angle (they are rounded square plates)

i hate this carb so bad, you have no idea. I'm saving furiously to get weber 40's from 9motorsport
