Hell yeah! If that valve is sucking air into the manifold then it is making the mixture super lean which will affect your idling for sure.

its still the same
just doesnt want to idle at anything under 1500rpm. when the car hits 1500rpm it sounds like it should do if you get me? but anything under this rpm and it splutters and struggles then dies.
the idle adjustment screw is screwed in all the way too!
ive also been playing with the enrichment screw but with no joyim getting the impression that the enrichment screw isnt doing anything either
ive checked if its snapped but its still all there.!
Can you not try another carb? might be worth a try
i think thats the only thing left i can actually do! as im sure ive tried all other optionsOriginally Posted by Rob@Backyardracing

lucky enough ive got a spare rebuilt carb to hand.
im hope the problem is actually down to the carb as im out of ideas if it not
It does sound alot like a blocked idle jet, not the mixture screw, I have had this problem before after fiddling with the carb, the engine will eventually fire up, run ok above 1500 but then dies below. Try unscrewing the big screw, removing the jet, seperating the little bit inside, it only takes a tiny bit to block the jet, also have you tried blowing air or even carb cleaner through the idle jet hole in the carb. thought id add my 2 cents hehe good luck
