![]() Hi Volvo Nerds
![]() I have a 1968 Volvo 142s with b20 engine and the suhs6 carbs. It idols at about 1300-1500rpm. Here is the way that it acts. -It idols high only when it warms up -It only idols high only after you rev it -It goes down to a reasonable rpm when in gear. (It has a BW35 transmission in it) -It seems to be running rich but that could be the carburetors not being very well tuned Here is what Ive tried to fix the problem -I had the carburetors rebuilt by a gentleman by the name of Thomas Bryant (They needed to be rebuilt anyways) -I replaced the carburetor to intake manifold gaskets -I replaced to intake manifold to head gasket -I removed the second set of butterfly valves in the intake manifold and plugged the holes -I replaced all the vacuum hoses -I replaced the one way valves for both the pcv and the brake booster -I replaced the brake booster( I did this prior to trying to fix the rpm when I built the brakes back up) -I made sure that the fuel pressure was in line with what the Haynes shop manual recommends by installing a fuel pressure regulator I'm at my whits end and was wondering if anyone had other suggestions. I tried everything people recommended last time and I'm back for more.
