Re: running rich??

["cruznmd" <racuti1@xxxx>]

Gents,

I'm also running very rich so I've been following this conversation 
intently. 

First question: The three brass set screws on the intake near 
the "W" pipe. Two are for the cylinder banks and are supposed to be 
fully shut. That much I know. Is the 3rd one the mixture screw? Are 
all 3 supposed to be fully shut? If not, how can I best determine the 
proper position of that 3rd mystery screw? I don't have sophisticated 
test equipment.

Second question: The yahoo owner before me, cranked them down so 
tightly, that when I checked them, the heads snapped off all 3 of 
them with almost no effort. I presume that an easy-out or similar 
extraction tool will remove them....right guys??

Thanks,

Rich
