When the engine is properly warmed up (something that hasn't happened very often before) I get an amazingly crisp and stable idle, like nothing I've seen before. I get this irrational urge to tinker. I think I should leave it alone and drive it around some more, and only tinker when I'm certain that something needs it. > > But if you are getting a smokey exhaust I actually found out later that the smoke was caused by badly adjusted, bodged linkage, and everything improved drastically when I replaced some parts of it. I left the mixture screws in their leaner position though, and that's why I was wondering whether I had made it too lean.
