adjusted mixture adjustment screw

450slcguy,

I adjusted the mixture screw about 1/2 turn so far and it runs a lot better. Its actually drivable in traffic now...LOL

Still missing a little powerthough. Probably try another 1/8 or so turn...I guess its not like an old chevy--turn it until it almost dies and then back off a 1/2 turn(perfect every time)--that was the farm setting we use to use...LOL

My question is how does this happen all of a sudden. It was driving fine one day then a few days later it started just like that. Also, I guess that adjustment screw just leans or adds more air so why didn't the exhaust smell more like it was flooding?

Like you said, I will have to idle it down a bit now...where exactly is the idle screw?

Thanks for all your help,
Bobby
