Subject:Re: mixture adjustment without gas analyzer

My experience with this is to get the engine running smoothly and a little
on the rich side until you can get it to a shop.  Turning the CO2 screw
clockwise on a CIS VW make the mixture leaner.

If anyone out there knows where I can get an inexpensive CO2 analyzer
please let me know!!!
