Re: running rich??

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxx>]

It sounds like the cold start valve is staying open. It could be stuck 
or somehow it is getting electric and being kept on. Try removing the 
plug to it after you get the car started and see if that helps. Make 
sure there is NOTHING plugged into the hot start relay plug in the 
wiring harness by the fuseblock. DO NOT FUSS WITH THE MIXTURE 
ADJUSTMENT! It can't change by itself and if the mixture is off that 
isn't going to fix the problem. If the car ran well before something 
did change to cause this but turning adjustment screws won't fix this, 
they didn't magicaly turn themselves to cause this! Check the vacuum 
hoses going to the control pressure regulater on the left side of the 
motor, sometimes knocking a hose loose can cause this.
