Hey! I'm kinda in a bind. my 86' na is rinning too rich and i cant figure out why. i have tried adjusting it but it wont stop. it really starts to bog down around 3600 rpm when i really get on the throttle for the first few minutes of driving. then it slowly starts to act ok but not up to par. i also have lost some power. i just got my car back after a nightmare of doing an engine swap. someone help!

well, after driving the car around for awhile, you can smell gas from the engine compartment, an it floods out once in a while. so that led me to believe that the car is running too rich. the adjustment that i was turning was the variable resistor by where the stock air box was. i figured that the R was for rich and the L was for lean since they were not on the Right and Left sides (R was on left and L was on right). i really dont know if that is correct though.
