Hi, i have a mini 35 that i have just bought but it is running really rich. It is a later type carb with the mixture screw on the side by the bulkhead, but whatever way i turn the screw it still runs rich, should i wind the screw in or out to weaken it?

I have checked all hoses and cleaned the air filter but still cant sort it.

Read shifty sheamus reply on later post "playing with colourtune and timing gun". The screw only affects idle mixture. I didn't know this either!

I read the colour tune thing but bottled it so Bill Richards is giving it a tune tomorrow!
