Re: [T3] Fumes


CO is higher if there is too much fuel in the mixture being burnt.  I
suspect you need to adjust the carb mixture control screw, or cure a leaking
needle jet.  Carbs should only have around 3%, but I guess that might
register, as it was a way people used to commit suicide in the 'good old
days'.  If it smells fumey, there could easily be more like 8% CO simply due
to a maladjusted carb.

FI has a CO level of about 0.5%, which I wouldn't expect to set off a CO
detector (but a '66 would be carbs, I assume).
