I've got a 260ITS z car in my garage that needs some TLC. Whilst working on it I figured, hey, I'll fire it up and adjust that horribly high idle down a bit.
Well, it fires up well, runs smooth and sounds great. But while running at 2200 RPM, where it happens to idle, I can barely breathe near the engine compartment and it is so rich my eyes burn something fierce!
So, not being familar with these carbs, that is I understand the basic ops of carbs but not these, how does one affect the mixtures on these guys? Is there an idle mixture screw? Raise and lower the needle (I'd expect this for mid-high RPM ops)?
The car has exhaust gas temp probes in cylinders 1 and 6, although I've not really tried to collect data from them or notice what they run. I can do so though since that should give us an idea later on tuning, but right now I know it is rich!!!O
Oh, fuel pressure looks good and constant at 3psi.
Thanks for the help,
Ron

My electrons don't care if they flow through OEM wires, do yours?
