I pulled my #1 plug out tonight and I was doing some preliminary checking of fuel adjustment and saw the mess below. This is with a Holley 4160 (vacuum seconday 750).
I'm seeing tons of oil here and the stink of fuel. I know I'm running rich, but I'm not sure where that problem actually lies. The float setting is good, and may even be a bit on the low side. Adjusting the idle mixture doesn't affect vacuum unless I give the idle mixture screws full turns and then I only get fluctuations of less than 1".
I don't know if it means much, other than more proof that I'm running rich, but idle jumps about 250rpm when I pull the vacuum secondary line off.
At least my timing is set properly. The "mark" is exactly where the plug readers say it should be.
I'm worried about both the oil control symptom and the fuel issue. Any ideas?? Help.
