Will, I think you will know when the HC levels get too high. The HC
levels will go up when the engine starts to miss and the raw fuel enters
the exhaust system.
My suggestion is to find a shop wiht a CO test meter and adjust the
mixture by reading the CO levels. I think this is what the service
manual suggests.
