G14 runs too rich
I have a G14 with rebuilt engine, new carb, starts instantly, idles smooth even and sweet and runs great. HOWEVER if riding on the rear seat the exhaust smells over rich (but no black smoke) plus the spark plug (Autolite 66 or NGK or Denso makes no difference) is always flat black sooty coated NEVER the nice warm gray color.
I assume the power jet is fixed but it has some sort of an idle adjustment screw (NOT talking about the dead idle stop) but Im unsure how to adjust it for a leaner operation. If it were like a power jet screwing it in would lean the mixture, but if some sort of an "air bleed" screwing in may reduce air and make it richer. QUESTION how do I adjust the idle screw and how can I make it run leaner?????????? Old John T in Indiana |

Re: G14 runs too rich
Turn it gently clockwise until it stops then open by turning counterclockwise 1 1/2 turns.Adjust from there.

Re: G14 runs too rich
Thanks Ray, it was out almost 2 1/2 turns. I re set it to a bit over 1 turn out and it still idles smooth and even so Im gonna run it a while and see if the plug is less black and sooty from too rich.
