I rebuilt the Rochester B on my 235 a few years ago, and it has very little cumulative run time. Now that I’ve done a decent amount of running the engine, I can tell it’s running rich. I can smell it, I can see it on the plugs.
I know the real answer here is to ditch the Rochester and I do have the proper Carter YF waiting in the wings to be rebuilt. But I have plenty enough other tasks to keep me busy and the engine is running well in spite of the sub-optimal carb.
Are there any quickie tricks a guy can use to get by for a while? This carb doesn’t seem to be visibly warped. Can I cheat the float drop and/or setting a bit? Any other easy function checks I can do?
