is the smell inside or outside the car? what does it smell like? Fuel? rotten eggs?

rotaryrascal 10-14-2002 01:41 PM
it's from the outside of the car......it kinda burns your eyes and smell's like gas or exhaust fumes!

Running rich.



Get a manual and look up mixture adjustment.

Sounds like my car.My eyes water when my car sits at a idle. :squint: Sounds like it's too rich.At least you can adjust your mixture.My 84 SE engine is carbed and can't be leaned out.Damn big-ass 2 barrel with no cats or emissions left. :smirk:

rotaryrascal 10-14-2002 05:13 PM
but I just pass smog!.....would'nt have it detected if it was running rich?



Could it be an exhaust leak?....my car sounds like a lawn mower at idle, but sounds good when in gear.

It still might be running rich but not terribly rich that you would fail a smog test.Yeah I would check for exhaust leaks tho.Do you have all your cats in it still?

rotaryrascal 10-14-2002 05:39 PM
yeah but, looks like there was one new one put in.

The Dellorto doesn't have idle mixture scrwes on it?



My Weber does.

It has idle mixture screws but I don't want to play with those.The mixture seems to be good in the higher rpm ranges.I just wanted to lean it out a bit not too much tho.Sometimes it runs rich most days it's fairly good as far as a 13b with nothing left related to emissions goes.

Then you might want to lean your carb out a bit.I remember when I did that on my 12a I noticed a power loss but at least the cops left me alone then.If they were behind me now they would freak.You can really smell it when it's cold.Oh well.With this engine I avoid them at all costs. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

1. The idle mixture screws only affect idle mixture. Hence the name.



2. GSL-SE's don't have carbs.



3. Your 83 is not an SA22C. Its an FB.
