[DML] Re: Auto-enrichment??





Vacuum leak. Make sure you reattached the charcoal canister lines
properly: 
- Line from the tank goes straight into the canister (not through the
diaphragm on top)
- Purge signal from under the throttle plates goes to the diaphragm
- Evacuation line to the cold start tube is opened by the diaphragm on top

Also ensure your diaphragm doesn't have a hole in it.

A vacuum leak actually causes the engine to run lean. That's what
kills your fuel economy -- adjustments are made to bring fuel/air
mixture back to normal at idle (high vacuum), which then translates
into over enrichment at throttle.
