My Own Vice Grip Garage - Getting the 250 i6 Running Again

[Luke87gt]

Great information, thank you all. Mike’s carbs looks to be a great resource, wow.

This total carb newbie now knows where his idle mixture screw is and that his carb apparently is missing a choke rod (fast idle). I’ll be sure to get that during the carb rebuild.

Question: what’s the procedure for setting the idle speed and the mixture? My understanding is that you warm up the engine with the choke engaged, then set idle speed, then tune the mixture to the sweet spot. Any tips on that?

Thank you

Luke
