Want this question answered?
It means to "go down" on the carb. Just put you lips on the carb "and blow"!
Without more info, sounds like a dirty carb. Probably hard to get into reverse also. Clean and adjust the carb. Check the rubber hose that connects the carb to the engine. Could be loose clamps or worn out. Sucking air there would also cause the problems.
No you do not, you would put oil on a oil filter gasket if it is a spin on type, this stops the rubber from binding and helps it seal.
Yes , but you also have to change the intake manifold

first install new carb gasket to intake manifold and then 4 nuts hold the carb to the intake studs and then install the throttle linkage to the carb.
its in the front of your carb. underneath the intake manifold.
Change the intake manifold and fuel pump... And naturally put a carb on top of the new intake.
IIRC it bolts into the top of the intake manifold, right between the carb and the valve cover, a little to the rear of the carb. You should find a rubber hose from it to the top of your air cleaner or vavle cover, I forget which. Note I always had success as they aged by removing them and cleaning them well with carb cleaner, so when you shake it you can hear the inside moving back and forth. I was still using my original PCV and passing smog with it at 250,000 miles. Do use caution threading it back in. The intake manifold is aluminum and it is easy to cross thread the PCV valve into it. I did this once, and then had to remove the manifold until a friend heli-arc welded and redrilled and retapped my original manifold for me. A lot of wok for not taking enough care screwing it back in.
It sits right over the carb, so maybe that needs adjusting. Actually, I know at least in '88-'01 1.8-1.9L escorts do not have a carb, they are fuel injected. My filter housing is connected to a vacuum manifold, and the housing does smell gassy. However, an air filter sitting on a carb could have a small amount of gas in it, or smell like gas. When you start the car, the carb or manifold should create negative air pressure (vacuum) which will basically suck the gas back out. If gas is going INTO your air filter from your carb OR manifold (gas splashing into the filter housing), you should have the carb or manifold checked or adjusted. So, smell/few drops of gas:OK - gas geyser: big problem.
Just sso happens I tore into my carb today and the rubber stopper goes 2nd hole.... outside in .....towards the main jet
