Honda Car Forum

Hey All,
Im new to this group so I hope i don't come across as
the total newbie... Well, basically I have a 91' civic 3-door
hatchback (with carb) Car was perfectly fine until a week ago where it
failed the local VRT (high emissions) and had the carb cleaned and
passed the vrt the next day. Within a few days of that started to
smell fuel when I opened the bonnet...so I started the car and checked
the carb....and saw fuel spilling out of the carb fuel pipe...Got that
changed, but the latest symptom I'm experiencing is an intermittent
rough idle and stalling. Also sometimes when using the manual choke
the throttle seems to stick at high revs. The problem seems to be
choke related as when I start the car without choke (warm already) car
works fine....Any ideas would be much appreciated

Thanks
Steve
