Cuz I'm to lazy to go anywhere else I'm hoping to see if anyone has experience with carbs...

it's a 1985 Prelude 1.8l with 60,000 miles. it's been sitting for about 7 years in a shop. I got it to run yey! BUT it only runs if the carbs are overflowing and dumping gas... (mounted sideways like a motorcycle) now if I get it where it should be where it's not dumping fuel it stutters and wont stay running. I can't find a carb rebuild kit for it, so any ideas?!?

 

Didja check the timing? Points? Needing to dump fuel to get it to run sounds more like a timing issue... At least, it used to be, back when dinosaurs roamed the earth, and I first started piddling around with cars. Pull the rotor and see how clean it is. If its durty, hit it wit some steel-wool (so you don't scrape off any material using sandpaper). Inside the rotor-cap, too. Same deal.

I'm assuming you've pulled the plugs and checked teh gaps, already...

 

Gap to .28 if its chipped
Single carbed or dual? Maybe the crabs need syncing

 

Dual carbs. This has now been placed on hold again >.< This car is owned by my wifes uncle, same guy that co-owns the Miata. He wanted the miata as a dd so I was going to get the prelude working for autox. NOW he bought an 02 or 03 corolla for a dd! So I made the agreement to get the prelude running in exchange for the 2nd 1/2 of the miata. BUT he didn't say yes and he didn't say no! I finally after much searching found a carb rebuild kit for it, that comes with everything for both carbs

 

Check the ricer section... this is the OT section... muuahahaha!
