81 civic carb tuning

I have a 81 civic 1500 and had to rebuild the carb. It is back together now and I don't know how to get the thing tuned. It looks like there are three adjustments, the idle, the mixture, and the little third barrel. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jeff Porada

P.S. I also need some body panels if anyone knows of a good place to get rust free ones, I'm in Ohio and the rust is pretty bad.

Re: 81 civic carb tuning

Weber 32/36's are expensive and won't pass smog in applicable states (illegal in California). the honda carbs are a pain to tune but you can find some advice here: http://www.civic1200.com/discus/ if you search around a bit.

Re: 81 civic carb tuning

What do you mean EXPENSIVE?!?!?!!!
IF you work and save up money,you can buy one and its so simpile to install(if you know what youre doing...) Mines cost me about 250$...including all the basic hard ware to install such as the spacer,gaskets,etc... besides... The WEBBER logo on the carb looks cool.Any way.. F@#k the smog test! just pay the guy an extra 20$ and your car will pass no matter what....
