Thanks for the info.

I'm running a Weber 32/36 carb unit. It idles well enough but I can smell the noxious exhaust when it isn't rolling. I'm sure the people behind me, and the atmosphere, doesn't appreciate that.

The Weber was installed by the previous owner. I still have the original SU dual carbs. Is one easier to adjust than the other? I have the green manual that talks about the SUs but I don't have one for the Weber.
