Hi,

I think Dick's suggestions are best. A weak spark can make it look like 
the car is too rich. I see this all the time.

Something to think about - carbs can't just go completely out of 
adjustment unless something is broken or some wanker starts playing with 
them. Yes, they can go a little out of adjustment, but a tiny idle screw 
adjustment does not translate to erratic behavior. It just doesn't work 
that way.

And to repeat my mantra: 90% of all carb problems are electrical in 
nature. Check the spark first and then work from there.

regards,
rml
p.s. trust me, I'm a wanker too as I've done more than my share of stupid 
carbs tricks in the past. :-)
