Ive got a 53 and shes running a little rich. Its an old carter 1 barrel on a 216. The carb was rebuilt be someone 2-4 years ago b4 I bought her.

I was told to turn the mixture screw in all the way, then back it out 1 and a 1/2 turns. After doing this I was told to turn it a small amount either way until running where I want her.

I still smell gas. No black smoke just running rich. Any ideas?

Thanks, Jeff
