Are you certain the choke is fully released. That of course will cause a rich condition.</div>

<div dir="ltr">Hello All,</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">My 1979 Spitfire is running very rich (to the point of black smoke coming out of exhaust). I attempted to adjust the carburetor needle valve by starting with the needle valve all the way out and turning using the Allen key adjustment tool to
turn 1/4 turn at a time. This had no effect. Using a screwdriver to lift the carb piston still resulted in the engine rpm increasing. I started over in the full rich position and turned the Allen key 3 turns to the lean position. This had no effect. Any
suggestions?</div>
