Hey guys,
I recently noticed that I was running a bit lean and want to remedy it. I have stock intake so I started adjusting the mixture screws. I was able to adjust them to their full range in and out with no change in how the engine was running.
I did a small test to see if it was changing the fuel mixture by starving it and then pulling the air filters expecting it to die but it did not.
What am I doing wrong? Are my mixture screws so dirty they don’t do anything anymore? The carbs are in good shape, and recently had a once over, nothing deep though.
Thanks
David
