I had since sold the car. It broke my heart to do so. I still remember most of the issues I had trying to get the relic to breathe again. I have very little knowledge about the stock carbs and their precise functionality. I only understood the necessity of the vacuum advance and the process of...

It still doesn't look like that much, but it runs as good as ever lately. I finally have messed around with the carburetor to get it tuned just right. The mileage is excellent (prob 30ish in town). As you can probably see, I had to do it with trial and error. No one was any help, just threw me...

Problem Solved !!!! Wow, did this take a while. I got the webber on there but to my surprise it was doing the same thing. Not too bad, considering I have a way better carburetor anyhow. The PROBLEM was... When I took the intake manifold off the first time, I removed the gasket to be raplaced. I...

Thanks for the info Thanks Airjockie, that was litterally the most useful thing that anyone has helped me with on this forum. I appreciate it. Anyways, I though a new carb would ultimatley be the smartest thing to go with. I ordered a K726 Carb and I would expect it to be here in a week or two...

Wow, someone is actually reading this. I bought a carburetor rebuild kit for the stock carb on an 87 CRX but it only came with a set of gaskets and orings, it didnt have any of the good stuff like new jets or anything. There were some diaphrams but after all that mess the carb didn't like its...

Gotta replace the Carburetor, no choice The float level is ok and all the jet passages look just fine but I took it off and cleaned is out and replace what gaskets and whatnot that I could and it didn't work still. I've seen packages such as the K 726 Weber carb replacement for my ride...

Almost there, I think I have the problem narrowed Whew... So I took the car down to the nearest Honda dealership and believe it or not, there wasn't a mechanic there that had profieciency in carburated engines. This blew my damn mind. I shelled 90 bucks for them to take a look for an hour. The...

Another dead end... I replaced the ignition coil and I am still having issues. Since I've taken a good look at the valve lash, the distributor, coil, plugs and wires timing, air flow and compression, I have decided that I just might as well take the vehicle down to the Honda dealership to take...

Suggestions? If anyone has any pointers or suggestions please interject. I am pretty new to fixing up cars n' stuff. Any help at all is greatly appreciated, thank you.

Purchased defective Coil When I replaced the old coil with the new there was absolutely no spark, there is still a spark with the old unit. Hopefully acquiring another new working replacement tomorrow morning.:mad:

They are sweet They are sweet. If I can only get mine on the road again:(

Intake and Vacuum solved, ignition problems revealed Let me rephrase, since I've been tinkering with it for a while. The sound I was hearing was the engine misfiring/backfiring. It does this hot or cold. Thats why I thought it was the timing. The water pump is ok. The vacuum advance on the...
