So i rebuilt the mikuni carb on my 85 power ram 50. 2.6l engine idle high before i rebuilt it. I suspected a rich condition or screw issue, so i fiddled with th screws. Obviously nothing happened so i found myself here where i learned i shouldnt have done that. So yeah i rebuilt the carb, put her on, and she still idles high. Before i put her on i adjusted the throttle plate stop till it touch, then a 1/2 turn more to start with. I have adjusted the other idle screws while running but this time i counted my turns, but the idle never changed. I am going to try turning the high idle screw with the captured spring in and see if anything changes. I am also going to try turning the fuel screw in till it wants to die and then back it out 3/4 to 1 turn out. This is all i know to do. I do not think there is a vacuum leak since the mounting gasket is new. Any advice would be very much appreciated.
