Hi Again, If you followed my last message about the ignition switch problem I was having. You will know I have been working on my 1969 W300. It had sat for the last year or so. I thought it would be a good idea to have the carburetor rebuilt and do a complete tune-up. This included installing a Mop

Is the choke fast idle cam sticking or set too high? Throttle cable binding or out of adjustment?Also both the mixture screws should be adjusted evenly as in move each one 1/4 turn at a time. I didn`t read the best of the forum but once you get the idle speed fixed & at max rpm start turning them in until the engine starts to miss then back them out 1/4,, remember to do them together so the carb is "balanced" Agood baseline on the mixture screws is 1&1/2 turns out from bottom & when bottoming them don`t force them.
