I rebuilt my 2150 carb, and set it to the specs on the tech library by michael baxter (thank you for the article btw). I put it back on the jeep, and I cant get this thing dialed in to save my life. Rough rough idle, smoke from the tailpipe, and the smoke smells like fuel. Ive adjusted the idle screws from one end of the spectrum to the other in small incriments, and the choke knob is 2 turns towards lean. I cant get the idle to smooth out at all, and it just seems to smoke worse, no matter what I do.
One thing I'm slightly confused about is it says in the article to lightly seat the mixture screws. is that supposed to mean turn them all the way in until they cant anymore, or turned JUST enough so that theres tension on the spring?
can somebody help me through this, im stuck. Theres no vacuum leaks that I can find at all, and the casting of the carb isn't cracked..I don't know where my problem lies.
