[QUOTE="gavan, post: 1430121, member: 2598"] lol =þ actually what he meant when using a plyer or spark plug is because some of our cars have the special nut for the AFR tuning where we cant use normal screwdriver to tune it cause the nut is different so by using the spark plug or plyers to grip the screw we could tune it =) [*oh forgot to add* you might also tune the AFR with a special inverted-allen key look-alike nut which some mechs might have it. its specially design to ease the tuning of carburators and avoid the use of screwdrivers and plyers which might damage the screw.] btw, the screw you should try playing around first is the idling screw. try not to idle too high as high idling = more fuel consumption. so reduce it to around 900rpm +/- which should be the normal RPM for a normal car =) (note:if you are driving an auto you might wanna let it idle higher but not too high cause when you shift into gear the RPm would drop slightly) after adjusting that then you could also follow the steps as what dwight had mentioned earlier =) sometimes after tuning and tuning and yet the FC is still high you must also need to look at other factors such as: 1) is your car's exhaust piping modded or still stock. if its modded, is it modded to the correct size for your engine? 2) is your engine still in good working condition 3) is your carb still in good working condition(no leaks, spoilt floats,stuck jettings, etc etc) 4) is your filter clean 5) is your fuel filter clean 6) is your fuel pump working 7) is your timing correct hope some if this information is helpful to some who might still have high FC even after tuning your carb. the world of carburators are fun to play around with and at least it gives you something ti mingle around with when you have nothing else to do to your car =þ [/QUOTE]
