thing is it seemed to run fine 6k ago ...

if you gold down the gas and keep it at 1000 . right when its cold , it will still cough and gag ..

I have also noticed my power and mpg has dropped ..
vary hard to get it over 65 mph ....

I have played with the smoke screw ... in either direction .. seems to make no difference .
