My bad. Screwing IN the idle air screw makes the mixture RICH. Sorry for the mistake guys, I had a brain fart.

...another question: I have two different needles and needle housings and I am not sure which is the right for my Tilloston, please take a look at the picture; it is measured in cm...

I am using my Model A with B Head and B waterpump; Do you think the makes it neceassary to special spark plugs?

Does this combination needs a special ignition timing???

What is the right heating value if you mostly drive in slow traffic?

Hi all,

I found the main problem, the float bowl has been soft solded.

The weight of the bowl therefore was different. I should have thought about it before.
