Reply to "Carb Tuning"

Dan,

Thanks for the reply. I've never had a carb run well with the mixture screws turned almost all the way in as this one does (it runs well at 1/2 turn out). They usually ran well when turned out about 1-2 turns. Is this normal or what causes this? Is this an indication that its running rich at idle? Does something need to be fixed?

I see how the A/F is important at operational speeds but is it important at idle? If the car is running rich at idle, how do you adjust this down or do you need to?

Basically I don't believe that I truly understand how the carb adjusting works! I am in need of "Carburetors for Dummies"!
