Icon6 86 civic carb woes

I have an 86 civic sedan with the 1.5 in it. I can get it started but it wont idle. If it has a vacuum leak i cant find it and i know part if not the whole problem is the carb. Ive seen that you can upgrade/replace the stock carb with a webber carb. I was hoping someone could tell me which carb i should be lookin at and if it takes much modifying if any at all. Thanks.

Default Re: 86 civic carb woes

check the big hoses behind the intake manifold between the engine and the firewall,one on left on on right side. The best is car on secured jack stand and spray WD40 w engine idling, make sure that the vehicle is on a level surface with wheels choked and parking brake on.

As for the webber, redpepperracing.com
