WOW - What a difference

Its that time of year to do my maintenance (check timing, set tappets etc..)

TIMING:
stock:8btdc,
maintenance check:10btdc
I run 12 btdc (on 87ron (91 ron in nz) no pinking

tappets:
reset tappets to stock clearances

THE CARB:
jets were rediculously dirty, cleaned them out with carb cleaner,
checked the fuel adjustment screw, HOLY CRAP ITS ALL THE WAY OUT,
A/F ratio was 11.5/1!!!!!!!!!!
(omg and i was still getting 35mpg)
have leaned carb to about 14/1 (have to compensate for driving)


but wow!!!!, i cant believe the a/f ratio was that bad, im glad i do maintenace checks, i have more power and it starts better now as well,

Will have f/e numbers up soon, keep an eye on my graph, hopefully it will go up
