Honda Car Forum

1982 Honda Accord sedan, auto trans. It has a problem with the
carburetor. The car barely starts, if at all. And if it is started,
it won't rev up. And then it stalls out and it won't re-start. It
fills like it is totally flooded.

The 2 float levels look good through the small windows. I pulled the
top of the carburetor off and it looks good inside. The 2 electronic
accuators work fine.

This carburetor has 3 barrells. One is just a very small auxillary
primary and there is also the primary and the main.

I don't know what is causing the problem. The engine compression is
good. The engine timing and ignition timing are fine. The weather
and/or temperature is not a factor.

The problem was previously diagnosed as being in the carburetor system
by a reputable garage. But, what part is bad. I don't want to replace
the carburator.

Could it be something in the emmision control system ? Does anybody
know what the problem is ?
