Re:1989 Honda Accord ideling too fast
 

I just rebuilt the carb. I got it to idel at 1000 rpm. It lasted 3-4days
and now it is up to 2500 rpms. What else could be wrong? I need help.
thanks

A few off the top of my head:
1) Choke not coming off completely
2) Float level too high
3) Partially sunk float
4) Throttle stop screw loose or incorrectly set
5) Throttle binding
6) Throttle cable too tight
7) Idle speed screw loose or incorrectly set
8) Idle mixture incorrectly set

You made certain you had no air leaks when you installed it?

What happens when you turn the idle adjustment screw?
