Rubber deal in carb?

[seven-20]

Found a rubber piece in my carb. Threw it away cause i though it had just fell in there at some point. Now my truck has an insane high idle cause the butterfly is always open. Anyone know what im talking about? What is it called and where to get one?

[PEZi]

to be honest i can't really think of anything... do you know where it was located before hand?

It was just laying inside the carb. If it does not sound familiar,than it was probably just dropped in by the previous owner. I thought it may have been there to close the butterfly when off throttle but i guess not. So i guess i just have to figure out why my idle is high. The carb does not fully close as you can see in the second pick.

second pic looks to be normal to me though... mine never closed passed that

Yeah it ran fine for ever then all a sudden i went to put it in nuetral and rpm's shot up. Seems like it is getting to much fuel!

well... start with the usual.... vac lines and such

If you depress the gas petal all the way down when the engine is off, your choke should close completely. That worked for me when I was having issues. I hit the cable links with cleaner and worked them a bit too. Now that I have the vac lines all straightened out it seems to be running fine.

Well i will go over everything mon-tues and update the thread

Seems fine now. I depressed the throttle all the way down and that closed the butterfly. Also found a small gap on the air filter cover. Could have been that. Thanks for the help

Yeah. The WD-40 works better and longer than engine oil.
