Boy howdy are you right about the learning curve ! .

OTOH, when I turned the ALDA screw clockwise, the power dropped off and the smoke increased ~ I don't understand why / how but that's what happened .

I'm about 360* in from fully CCW now and it seems to run O.K., some times after a long red light I see a cloud of fuel smoke as I pull away from a stop, others not .

Filters look clean .

Maybe a crappy injector ? .

In time I'll pull them and pop test .
