Had the carb rebuilt by a shop in Fort Worth before it was put on the car. I have to adjust the idle/air screw all the way in for it to even run and it still smells like it's running really rich. Could they have put to big a jets in it when they rebuilt the carb? That the only thing I can really think of.

Weber's don't like that high fuel press (2-3.5psi). Put a fuel reg on it & dial it down to 1.0-1.5 psi. Its running to rich. Bet it fixes it. My Weber 44IDFs run about 1.0 psi on my VWs.
