I got out and looked at the plugs. they were a good light chocolate brown. I started it up and smelled the exhaust. seemed rich so I worked the idle screw down to 3/4 and let it run for a few minutes. pulled a plug and it was wet and black. I didnt get a chance to drive it today. I have also been told to retard timing before shut down. I will have to wait on doing that until I see if the adjustment made a difference. I will have to check for leaks but I spent some time sealing the exhaust up so I would hope that held.
