My car is running pig rich at idle ever since I swapped the 69/78 jets for 72/80 jets. I have to keep my foot on the gas at stops or it will stall out on me. Once I'm up and running, it seems ok. It fouled out the plugs I had so I bought a brand new set, drove it for a mile and now they're black!
I'm noticed raw fuel dripping from one secondary ventri when it's idling. I don't think that's supposed to happen...is it?
What would cause this? Is there anything I could have done when swapping jets? I fail to beleive that 72/80 jets are too much jet for my setup.
Why is raw fuel dripping into the secondaries at idle and still drips after the car is shut off?
