Hey guys, my cousing has an 86 Accord carburetor engine. When you start the engine (pumping the gas twice), it will either idle at 3k, or stall. I've noticed that this rectangular plate at the carburetor is either fully open or fully closed. Is there a way i can adjust this or is there something broken? Please let me know or lead give me some info on carburetors. THanks!

 

that's the choke plate. sounds like you might have something sticking. get yourself a can or two of carb cleaner and clean the carb out.
