    before you guys gimme a bunch of crap for being on the wrong forum...lemme just say this:


    i've had a maverick before, i'm actually trying to get it back...
    and
    you guys are WAAAY more helpful than the mustang forums...

    that being said. I'm sitting in a 1965 I6 Mustang Coupe.
    EH. its alright. i prefered the 75' maverick i had before.

    but here's my issue. i'm not so new to this whole car fixing thing. but i'm super new to carburetors. i attempted to rebuild the holley 1940 single barrel carb on my mustang. put it back on... and when i start the car... its REVVING at like 6000 rpms. i dont have a tachometer for specifics... but thats where its sounding its at. HELP.


    i have nooo idea whats up. or whats going on, or what i did. if you need pics, ask, and i'll take em and post em. thanks again guys. you always answer my silly questions. :hmmm:

    If it's reving instantly to 6 grand, the accleerator linkage is stuck wide open. Work with the linkage before starting it to find where it's sticking.

    Yup, and it's always the simple things that'll get your goat.;) He admitted he knew nothing about carbs, that ought to be the first clue. :idea:
