My 1988 honda accord over heats where the carb. is

When you say cleaned carburater did you take it all apart and spray carb cleaner through all the ports, it only takes the smallest debris for it to not run properly

even with a use carb you should have had it reconditioned before installing it, and also replace the spacer gasket , other wise you are fighting a lost cause

Clean and tighten your battery posts and connections. Check the starter end and the ground too.

Have you checked your alternator?

turn the idle screw down on the carburater

i just had the same problem on my 88 honda accord lx had to replace ignition switch

i've seen on some models of the accords, the secondary butterfly's on the carb will stick open, and this will a high idle. this could happen if the secondary's are not used enough. try that

you will need to clean the carb. the flaps aren't adjusting. u got trash in it otherwise and the surging is it tryin to flush it out

hello i would check the gas filter some carbs have a internal filter also were your line hooks up to your carb behind the nut shaped housing goodluck

hello with cars theres never a cheap way best thing you can do is to pull a couple of plugs first see how the gap area looks clean lightly dicolored no oil deposits second unscrew distributor cap flip up look inside the towers inside are they relatively clean or are they heavly deposited with flakey matariel and the rotor tip at the top of your dist if these things are present replace also fuel filter if carberated were the line hooks up some have a nut shaped housing that unscrews from the carb were there is a second fuel filter this is the route to go first carbs can run in the 400-500 range for these cars goodluck
