bit of a problem with the 305.

1. idled low and was occasionally dying when i had the AC on
2. died when i had the steering wheel cranked all the way over
3. i checked all the vaccum hoses and all was good
4. bought some carn cleaner and sprayed it directly into the carb and it didnt help
5. got a tune up... didnt help
6. assumed i needed a new carb
7. went to a shop and instead of getting a new carb they turned up my idle
8. now when im idling and sometimes when accelerating i have an exhaust smoke problem

whats my next step? its an '83 caprice with a 305. its only got about 103,000 original miles on it. original carb and original everything pretty much. other than this problem it runs great and i have never had any problems. get back to me by email or on here or talk to me on AIM

Welcome to the forum. It's running rich ( too much fuel compared to air ) and probably needs replaced or a rebuild.
