    1982 Honda Accord sedan, auto trans. It has a problem with the
    carburetor. The car barely starts, if at all. And if it is started,
    it won't rev up. And then it stalls out and it won't re-start. It
    fills like it is totally flooded.

    The 2 float levels look good through the small windows. I pulled the
    top of the carburetor off and it looks good inside. The 2 electronic
    accuators work fine.

    This carburetor has 3 barrells. One is just a very small auxillary
    primary and there is also the primary and the main.

    I don't know what is causing the problem. The engine compression is
    good. The engine timing and ignition timing are fine. The weather
    and/or temperature is not a factor.

    The problem was previously diagnosed as being in the carburetor system
    by a reputable garage. But, what part is bad. I don't want to replace
    the carburator.

    Could it be something in the emmision control system ? Does anybody
    know what the problem is ?
