Hello all,

I have my GT6 just about ready to run.   

I was able to get a rebuilt John Kipping transmission installed and all of 
the interior put back in.   I have installed new NKG plugs and set the dwell 
as well as timing using an electionic light at 4 degrees ATDC.   My vacuum 
redard is retarding just right.    

The question.  Since the SCSE carbs have no mixture adjustment who can I get 
he front carb to stop sooting my nice new plugs.   Can I lower the metering 
rod a bit to lean things out?  The carbs have been disassembled and dip 
cleaned with all new seals and diaphrams installed.   The air valves are 
free and smooth.     (I do seem to lose damping oil though.  ????)

If I get all this sorted out I will be ready to try for that CA smog 
certificate.   Which will led me on the road to the small bits of body work 
needed before paint can be considered.

Thanks for you attention.
