2.8L V6 Problems
Last night I decided to see if I couldn't do something about my leaky carburetor in my 1983 ranger. It's a motorcraft 2150 carb. I took it all apart and followed a guide to clean it, then put it all back together and reinstalled it today. Unfortunately my truck won't idle, makes a whiney noise, and acts odd with the accelerator. I've got a video posted here:
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated since this is my only ride!

The whining sounds almost like something is rubbing, maybe on a belt or pulley.
However, the most common mistake to make with a carburetor rebuild is to leave off a vacuum line or plug, which can make the engine not want to idle.
