I recently had the carb rebuilt for my 235 and the shop set the idle mixture screw at 1 1/2 turns out. After setting the idle speed and with the vacuum gauge I turned in the mixture screw until the vacuum dropped. I then turned it back out to maximum vacuum, but at that setting when I aggressively pushed the throttle, the engine hesitated removed link So I turned out the mixture screw in 1/8 turns until the hesitation went away (probably another 3/4 turn?). It was still at maximum vacuum.
Am I good with this or is this too rich? The engine seems to be running and driving good but I don't know the downside of too rich of idle?
Thanks for any advice!
Run it for a few days like that and check the spark plugs to see if its truly too rich.
Does your engine have low or high mileage?
What carburetor is this?
