I did the initial set up from my owners manual.
Slow running screws two turns in
Jet adjusting "screws" two and a quarter turns out
The car was on what I would call a fast idle -- 2500 on the tach once warmed up.
I did not lower/raise the jet adjusting screws because i was not exactly sure which way to go and how far to go. I reached a comfortable idle by turning the slow running screws out until I hit about 1000 rpm.
I had to leave it -- going back in today. My assuption is, based primarily on smell, that i am running rich and the jets adjuster needs to,be screwed in some and my slow running adjusters need to screwed back in some( i came out 1.5 turns). I will pull a plug and expect carboned up.
Please advise: should I go back to book set up and try to find steady rpm of 1000 with the jet adjuster? If I can, do I simply leave the slow running screws in at 2.25?
Any advice will be appreciated.
