    Carbs - Carburetors

    I would not spend too much time trying to adjust the idle screws. If you have not ever touched them and it just started running rich then you probably have some particle in your pilot jet. That means you get to take the carbs off. The pilot jet has very tiny holes that are easily plugged, but...
