So I came across a part on the carb that was loose. Unscrewed it and realized that the previous owner had put a lot of white sealant tape to keep it in as the treads don't match...the removed part (with male end) threads are smaller in circumference than the carb (female end). **Note in the pictures below, I have already removed the old white sealant tape from the threads and cleaned the needle.
I've had problems lately with the rover running too rich and sputtering...like its getting too much air, however I cannot find an air mixture screw anywhere on the exterior of the carb to adjust while the engine is running.
Can anyone tell me what part this is and what it effects? When I first exposed the needle, it had grey gunk crusted up all over it. I cleaned the needle really good as well as inside the removed part.
You can see the needle inside that is spring loaded. Does this automatically adjust the air misture? Sorry for the noob questions. Learning as I go. Just re-adjusted all the valves on my own so I'm coming along.
