Re: [T3] Death on Idle.

[Parker-Durost <ginpete@xprt.net>]

<x-flowed>    Your carb has a different fuel circuit at idle than at speed.  Other 
than the idle air screw, there is also an idle jet.  On a '67 these are 
electrically opened by the ignition switch via the coil.  Turn the key 
to on, go to the back and pull the wires of each jet, you should hear a 
click of the solenoid opening the jet.  No click means no fuel to that 
side.  A clogged jet will give the same result, I have this happen twice 
a year at least.  The car will run at idle, but only on one bank of 
cylinders.  Pull plug wires to find which side, and then unscrew the 
idle jet on that carb and spray some carb cleaner in there.
