The choke is always open?...Even on startup from cold? If so, no good. Here's how Ive done it, not to say its the only way, but works for me.....Choke the carb, warm her up to operating temp, then open choke fully. Hook up a vacuum guage to manifold vacuum and adjust idle mixture screws equal amonts to acheive highest possible vacuum reading (keeping idle around 800 rpm the whole time). Thats where you need to be. If still too rich, check your float level.Last edited by 63BoxNova; 11-12-2006 at 07:09 PM.
