ok this is drivin me nuts...
my 89accord recently started p!ss!in me off after the engine warms up to regular operating temp, everytime i press in the clutch weather to slow down or stop the rpms drop like a brick in water.
and seein how this is my dd and a swap is in the $2ooo dollar range and shops wont finance a swap i jus want this fixed til i can save for the swap...
i have already...
1: changed fuel pump
2: rear fuel filter
3: front fuel filter
4: looked as closely as i could for vac leaks
5: cleaned carb w carb cleaner

3geez has a lot of post about the same issue but none of the post are replied back to by thread owner statin its fixed and wat they did..

any ideas besides put a webber carb on it?

[JBizzlebone]

First and foremost I would take the car and have the carb adjusted by a seasoned mechanic. That's probably going to be hard to find because no one wants to deal with old honda carbs. Frankly, I can't blame them, they are a pain in the ass to work on.

My dad is about the only one in the area that will do it and is damn good at it.


Hit me up with a pm if you decide to go that route.

Meh, I read the rules regarding advertising and this shouldn't violate it since I didn't give any "business" information. The rules state that I or anyone else can make reference to a business but cannot give any information about that particular business. If I'm wrong please let me know and I will alter the post, just trying to help the guy out :/


I've had quite a few carb'd honda's in the shop and they usually come in for the exact problem you're describing. Most of the time, a good adjustment does the trick but sometimes the carb has to be replaced. Trying to get an old carb'd honda to run perfect and no money don't go hand in hand. If you're short on funds you'll just have to deal with it unless someone else can suggest a cheap fix but remember that what worked for them might not work for you.

[JBizzlebone]

I didn't find a "loop hole" I just didn't read carefully enough before posting. Henceforth, I've edited my post to adhere to the rules. I just need to buy a damn sponsorship so I don't have to worry about it. Anyways, lets stop jacking this mans thread.

Replace it with a newer Accord, like a '91 or so. Problem solved.

[frostbyte]
