My car is running really rich right now.Does anyone know where the screw or screws are to adjust the fuel mixture?It shouldn't smell that rich out the tailpipe. Is there anyway to tell when the A/F mix is about right without a A/F guage?I heard you should be able to rev to 7300 before it starts to run out of power.Mine revs to 8000 no prob which is another reason I know it's running rich.Any help is greatly appreciated.



Thanx

theres only a screw for idle mixture, it wont affect the rest of the power band. to do that you need to change ugly stuff
