Could be a number of things, although I would first check for a vacuum leak. Which means first checking all the fittings from the carb to the cylinder heads. If you can get the engine to idle by working the throttle try spraying some WD where connections come together. See if that changes the idle speed. Also, check any vacuum ports on the carb. No problems located? Then start at the air cleaner and work downwards. Air cleaner OK? How are the distributor points and is the timing set correctly? Can you get the engine to idle by slowly turning the distributor to either the right or left? Nothing wrong so far? It might be time to pull and inspect the carb. |

I finally took it apart and blew out all the orifices and we placed the thick gasket at the base of the carb.....& Houston... we have an idle. BTW, thanks for the hints. we love our Ghia. > g adds.
