Carburetor Question
 

When I close down my Cabbie engine, I turn off the fuel valve and let the engine idle and run most of the gas out of the carb. A few moments before the engine dies, the engine speed increases.

Question: Does this indicate the carb is set too rich and needs to be leaned out slightly? Please advise.

ANY engine will increase when the fuel mixture is leaned out. This increases the idle quite a bit for a few seconds before it quits running. Perfectly normal
