All,
My TR3 is running super rich and I've been reading the recommendations and procedures to lean it out. I have black sooty smoke when I start the car and I'm told whenever I shift. Last night, I tried to adjust the mixture adjustment nut all the way lean (up) and was going to then turn it back 12 flats (2 full turns) as recommended in several spots. The problem I had was I could turn the nut (as shown in the picture below....I hope) and it just spins and spins - never reaching the top and stopping. I had the carbs rebuilt last year at a reputable local carb shop last year using the Moss rebuild kit.
Am I doing something wrong?
