1987 idles, won't rev
Greetings to yall. Car is a 1987 Chebby Nova, which I'm told is a Corolla. Has been sitting for about 5 years. I'm trying to get it going for my next door neighbors who are having $ issues.
I removed the plugs and oiled the cylinders, checked/added fluids, and car wouldn't start. Would run and sputter on carb cleaner though. I removed air cleaner and found dirt daubers nest on some kind of arm/linkage on back of carb. Freed that up and car will start, and idle amazingly nicely. However, if you try to rev it up, it bogs and dies, or if I let off in time will go back to idle.
I'm sure old gas has turned to varnish, and carb is gummed. Is there a jet that may be plugged that is different from the idle? Of course I treated gas in tank, and added a gallon or so of fresh. I have liberally sprayed carb with carb cleaner, but no luck.
I've searched "carburator, bogs, storage, idle," etc..... and have not found an answer.
Thanks for any replies.
Jimmy
