Cool.. your getting there... I never worry about the
AFR at idle... I set it so it idles the best it can
and set the WOT to the best MPH... I only use my AFR
to set the cruise... but once I get all the points
dialed in(idle, wot and cruise) I take a reading so
I can get back to it fairly easy.... and yes the mixture
screws can be touchy with how much you move them..
what I do is once its warmed up.. slowly turn in
one at a time till the rpm starts to drop then back
them out 1/4 turn... go around the carb a couple of
time to get it right... you might be lowering the
curb idle(the idle screw) during this process but
do it all a few times and it'll come right in... but
the base timing is what you have to set FIRST.. thats
a MUST




I think I understand not using the gauge for idle because the A/F ratio did not necessarily give the best throttle response. (at least at idle)

Felt like I was kind of chasing my tail a little, in and out with the idle screws, up and down with the throttle blades always coming back to the point where it was around 12.5 on the gauge.

Hope I can get it running good without getting too much more involved. I gotta drive it to see how it responds under load. Hopefully in the next couple days.
