Why is my carburetor idling high?
A LEAN CARBURETOR: With the engine warmed up and idling, spray your carb cleaner into the throat to get a smooth idle. If you are sure the throttle is closing and the idle is still high, that’s an indication that the engine is getting air from some other source and you have a vacuum leak.
How do you fix a rich carburetor?
Regardless of whether or not the engine is running too rich or too lean, bring it down to a very lean mixture by turning both screws a quarter-turn at a time, counter-clockwise, then slowly bringing them back up to an equal and smooth mixture.
Why are there holes in the BBK throttle body?
Since the stock throttle body is so much smaller than BBK’s, it is much more of a dilemma, requiring holes in the butterfly to allow more air to flow passed, equalizing pressure. Since the BBK throttle body is a bit larger, it tends to flow more air passed its opening, thereby avoiding the need for the holes. Q.
When does the throttle break on a Cummins PT pump?

NOTE: The throttle lever stop must contact the rear throttle stop screw. 2.

What’s the best way to fix a throttle body?
The best way to alleviate this is to simply rotate the throttle stop screw towards the linkage a few turns. This will keep the blade from closing completely and will also eliminate any delay. Once you’ve opened the blade slightly, you should be able to fine tune the throttle stop screw to achieve your desired idle.
