I know I'm running rich. The tail pipes get sooty, instead of that nice gray color they should be.

But, it just runs and sounds best this way.

I've tried all kinds of things to lean it out. Smaller fuel jets (idle, main, idle and main). Larger air jets. Lower settings on the 'mixture' screws (which aren't mixture screws). Lighter on the accelerator pumps.

When I do any of that, it runs like crap and starts popping, or stops responding well. So, I gradually nurse it back to where it runs well and all of the settings end up exactly where they were when I started.

It is  a good way to spend a few days, though, feeling like I've just done some righteous guy stuff - the stuff you just have to drink a beer after.

If it weren't for that manly feeling of having once again wrestled the bull and won, it would probably be a complete waste of time.
