    Those old Ford, MOTORCRAFT carb's are some of the easiest carbs to work on. At one time there were millions of those things out there in junkyards everywhere. They all interchanged. At one time it was easy to fix one of them. If you had a good carb, but the shaft had worn out causing a vacuum leak, just go to the junkyard and find one that wasn't worn out. Take the bottom off and put it on your carb. They made these things for at least 40 years. I'm sure many have gone to scrap by now.

    I think your content is amazing Jeff and I've been sub'd, and with few exceptions I've watched every video you've made start to finish for the last 5+ years. If I can make a suggestion of things that you can do to help your view count, I'd suggest you engage with your commenters more. Case in point I did a quick check and in just 3 of your most recent videos you had 300 comments to which you replied to only 8 of them. People like RUclips creators who engage with them, and they are more likely to come back and view and comment if they feel they're being responded to. You don't even need to actually reply you can even just hit the little heart symbol to acknowledge and show appreciation for their comments. This is just my opinion so take it for what it's worth.

    I first set the choke to adjust the stat, this sets the upper choke blade for the rich fast idle and leave it a bit open, do not close all the way, it will not want to start fully shut, and open a bit more. Then I set the fast idle around 1100 or 1200 rpm. My 400 2V is smooth with the idle mixture screws adjusted at 2.5 turns at low idle and warmed up at 750.

If you've got a leaky ignition system you might be in for a surprise using those methods LOL.

    I mostly do 20 minute videos, but I have recently done some short ones, well under 8 minutes and advertisements run on my channel. I think the person at RUclips is not accurately informed on that front. The question of advertisers in your genre - well nothing you can do for that.
    On this video there was no pre-roll advertisement and nothing during either, I'll come back and change this if there is a post-roll advertisement.

    Hey Jeff, I've been a sub of yours for years now. Just thought I'd let you know that youtube has stopped promoting your videos to me a long time ago. I have to come looking for you to find your stuff. I even have the bell rang. For a while I had thought you had stopped making new vids only to find out your channel just hadn't been being promoted to me any more. I would say that is a good reason for your declining views. RUclips is screwing you over like many others. I'm not sure the fix or if there is one, but might be something to look into if you haven't already. Love your vids and hope to see you stick around, but would completely understand if you chose not to. Take care!

    I'm having a few different issues all are minor. The one that pertains is a yfa carb. The set for the mixture doesn't really do much. But it eighter too rich to run or lean enough to struggle to over come getting going. It only has 2 mixture screw or setting. I'm stuck to these yfa carbs there junk.

    Jeff, thank you for your video. I actually have a 78 Lincoln mark v w/the 6.6L. and I am have issues with it idling high. After going through damn near everything, I found the issue being with the "A/C step-up solenoid". My problem is, finding a replacement part using that name for the part. Is there a different name for the part besides "anti-diesling senoid" that could help me find a replacement for mine that is sticking and not allowing idle to lower when car is running? Thank you! 👍🏽
