Rochester, need some help
Hi, have a problem with my Rochester 4 barrel carburetor. A bit too much gasoline. Should I turn the idle Mixture Screws a quarter in or turn out to be less fuel? Thanks for your help.

When you turn the mixture screws hook a vacuum gage up to one of the vacuum ports, from what I understand you twist it until the vacuum reaches its highest reading, then do the same to the other side. Should max out in the high teens low 20’s range. Mine maxed at 21”.
someone with more experience will probably chime in.
