Turn the idle mixture screw in to lean the mixture, out to richen the mixture.
There should be a flat bladed screw on the side of the carbie you turn it
turn clockwise or inward to lean the mixture.
Set idle speed to proper r.p.m, by adjusting the IDLE SPEED SCREW. Turn the IDLE MIXTURE SCREW or the AIR SCREW to for correct procedure, achieve highest speed and best response. The IDLE MIXTURE SCREW (FCR) controls fuel delivery to the idle port and the SCREW is located on the engine side of the carburetor slide. Turning the IDLE MIXTURE SCREW out will make idle and off-idle richer. Turning IDLE MIXTURE SCREW (CR, PWK, PJ, PE) controls the amount of air to the IDLE and SLOW CIRCUIT. This SCREW is located on the air cleaner side of the throttle slide and turning the SCREW out will lean the mixture and turning the SCREW in (clockwise) will richen the mixture.
The fuel mixture is probably set to rich. Also, the wrong spark plug (with regard to heat range) could be in the engine. If you have an adjustable carburetor with mixture adjustment screws, try turning the screw (probably located on the bottom of the carburetor, in the middle of the bowl) inward 1/8 to 1/4 of a turn. This will lean the mixture. If you have a no-adjust carburetor, then there is not a lot you can do to change the mixture. Try using/replacing the spark plug with the correct spark plug as recommended by B&S. Good luck!
Engine will overheat and engine will probably sieze
The only adjustment that you can lean out would be the idle circuit. That would be done by adjusting the idle mixture screw(s) while monitoring the vacuum and or the engine rpms. To make a carburetor run lean would require changing internal parts such as the jets and metering rods.
depends on the type and model car. If it's got a carburettor, the mixture screw needs to be turned out a touch. If it's fuel injected, different kettle of fish, off to the mechanic
If the carburetor has an adjustment screw for the lean/richness you can adjust it there. If the air cleaner is dirty or clogged replacing it might take care of the problem. If not, you will probably have to rebuild the carburetor.
Depends on the carb. Sometimes there's an adjustment screw you can turn out, sometimes you need to swap the nozzles(the jets) out for bigger ones.
This might be from unproper jetting of the carb. It is most likely running to lean,this is why the pipe has turned yellow.When and engine runs lean it tends to run hotter
Too much air to fuel mixture with your carburetor, adjust the carb settings to allow for more fuel to enter the chambers.
