After my adventures in this thread( thanks everyone for their advice ) http://vb.foureyedpride.com/showthre...-Idling-issues
it turns out my original fuel pump had been pumping fuel into the oil the entire time I was tuning the carburetor. Good thing I checked the oil before I took it for a spin. It had about a gallon and a half of fuel in it.
One fuel pump and an oil/filter change later I was back at square one since I was actually getting fuel.
Problem I have now is I am running super rich. Or so I presume since I have puffs of black smoke coming out of my exhaust and when I rev the engine it looks like a Diesel engine.
I had to screw the idle screw in all the way to get it to idle. Could this cause this?
Could I lean it out by adjusting the float levels lower?
I have checked and rechecked and rechecked for vacuum hoses that are disconnected or are broken and have been unable to find anything. I do suspect a vacuum leak in addition to over fueling.
Any advice is appreciated.
