Re: 1972 LeMans carb

Yeah, only the "real" old timers knew how to "tune" a carb.....

Is it running lean? Give it a quick shot of carb cleaner into the throttle body to see if it clears up.....or close the opening of the choke to see if it starts to run better while revving...make sure the filter in the carb has not picked up some crap from the tank....



Mine was a dark green hard top, two door, no faux top, 350, 2 barrel, auto, black interior.....nice little car....
