I'll re-check the chokes but I'm pretty confident they're wound all the way open. How do I check if the jets were replaced with larger ones? Is it obvious? I'd have to take a guess at the mileage. I probably get four hours of highway driving (if I get on a highway) on a tank. It doesn't seem to be burning more gas than normal. I did adjust the idle recently. I did so because after the engine was hot it would not idle after I came to a stop. I adjusted the idle screws and the idle air screws while taking a reading from a tach/dwell meter (600?). Could I be way off on the settings?
