Hi Chuck <div><br></div><div>We are going to look at another Spit on Saturday you are more than welcome to come and join the fun. I talked to Bruce and he thinks that that water choke is the issue and leaking fuel back in so the bar thing to do is take it off and get it Bruce to rebuild it. </div><div>If anybody else what to join in my address is</div><div>7111 Country Club Road </div><div>Butler Pa 16001 </div><div>Don Harkus </div><div>724-822-5447</div><div><br></div><div><br><br><div class="yahoo-signature"><a style="font-size:12px" href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/aol-news-email-weather-video/id646100661">Sent from the all new AOL app for iOS</a><br></div><br><p class="yahoo-quoted-begin" style="font-size: 15px; color: rgb(123, 106, 246); padding-top: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">On Sunday, May 18, 2025, 4:57 PM, Gerald Van Vlack via Wpta <wpta@autox.team.net> wrote:</p><blockquote class="iosymail"><div id="yiv4934944804"><style type="text/css">#yiv4934944804 P {margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;}</style><div dir="ltr">

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 clear="none">
</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>
