1982 Concord Carter BBD 2B 258 I recently drilled the idle tubes and replaced a thrown rod and some rockers. Usually I pump the gas twice, crank the car and it starts. Now, I pump twice and the car cranks for 4/5/6/ seconds and the starts. The idle is racing and wont kick down. In drive the car 'sounds' normal. The idle seems ok. From what I understand the Carters are a pain to adjust so before I think about that, what could I try first ? Possibly something simple....I hope. Thanks

Check for a vacuum leak. Extra air at idle both leans the mixture and can increase the idle speed. Joe
