Default Maybe not too rich?

Hello again.

In answer to a previous post: I run 3,5 PSI fuel pressure.

GAZ: yes; I found out turning the nuts in makes more fuel squeeze out..

FlatTyler also has a point. Actually, I have been turning the idle speed screw more in since I have opened the idle jets more to keep it steady at 1000 rpm at idle. I will look into this....

I kept the 65 idle jets and also added 165 main jets bercause I got this conflicting idea: Maybe it's too lean?

the "too rich" theory came up when I discovered the plugs were sooty.

After more testing at idle & full throttle, I found the plugs to be light tan..

But the problem persists: At around 4500 the engine misfires or are a little unwilling when the pedal is kept steady or pressed in gently.

If I floor the pedal in 1.,2. and 3. it revs happily up to 7000+ in one go without hesitation.

Hopefully my pals broadband lamda will be available in a couple of days...
