Another MOT but running too lean I think

[Stevekid1]

The old girl past another MOT today, that's the fifth one on the trot with no advisories but the CO readings are a little worrying. From the right side pipe the reading was 0.98 and from the left 1.37. Pretty sure both carbs feed both sides so as an average its about 1.2 I have recently fitted refurbished carbs which balanced fine and car ticks over nicely at 650rpm. Do you think it needs riching up a bit or should I leave things alone? Cheers, Steve

Well done on the MOT Steve... Russet Stags are the business!

Not sure about the CO reading but personally I would be inclined to leave it alone if it runs well - whip a couple of plugs out and see what colour they are. IIRC mine was 2.6 on the last MOT.

Should be about 3 to 3 1/2

Thanks for replies. I think I would like to get it set up around 2.5 just need to find someone local to do it. Cheers Steve

Go 1/8 turn clockwise on both carbs - that should do it....
