Re: [DML] Carburete a DeLorean at DCS'12?

No the CO screw adjusts an offset in the fuel curve, it does not adjust the curve. 

A carburettor cannot guarantee stochiometry and therefore should not be used in conjunction with a 3-way cat. 

I simply cannot say it any more clearly, not that that will prevent you arguing about it.

I can jet a carburetor as rich or as lean as an owner wants. I can jet it so lean the engine predetonates (I've done it to my own car while experimenting with jet sizes). It's the same effect as turning the CO screw on K-Jet too far in either direction.
