WHAT SHOULD I DO FIRST? THANKS FOR HELPING A ROOKIE

 

Get you a vacuum gauge...put it on the manifold vacuum source and try to adjust the idle mixture screws for the highest vacuum you can get. 10-14 inches of vacuum are good. Too low and the motor will die when you put it in gear.

 

Make sure the vacuum lines are hooked up -- no vacuum leaks !!!
