Fuel Problem Help needed 20mpg
I have had to replace things, repair air intake etc etc and now the car is getting loads of air and fuel consumption has gone through the roof 20mpg on a good day pottering around the island!
Question:
Air intake screw on top of carb gained by a pull out stopper now to reduce fuel intake do I tighen down or release upwards.
Tighten down seems the logic course of action but when i do I get wet splatters out the back surely this means too much fuel!
Please can anyone help me :dontknow:

I think I have it where it should be now, but for idle I have pulled clip of adjuster cable pulled cable up and reattached clip!
Now running ok but I know that cable is going to go slack.
What is my next port of call to make it idle better?

Get the mixture set on a CO meter. I thought mine was "where it should be" (I believe 1% ? .5%). My figure was actually 10%. Mot Failure flavour.
They shouldn't charge you much, use it as an opportunity to have a chat, make friends, go there regularly and you'll be getting stuff done for free in no time…
