when i pulled the spark plugs on the schools drag car, i noticed that they were a little too white and not the toasty brown that they should be. how do i richen up the carb a bit. do i adjust the 2 screws in the front of the carb or is there another adjustment that i dont know about?

thanks in advance.

i belive it all depends on the rpm that you mainly run, if you manly run high rpm (wich i belive is so in this case, drag car) you should have to change the jets, if you are mainly runing low rpm then you should ajust the idle air screws, but thats what i think, maby someone with more brains can help.

well the thing is, the car doesnt really turn high rpms. as for now it has 2.73 gears. so i guess ill just turn up the idle screws a bit.
but im still up for any suggestions as for what to do.

Go to the parts store and order a JET KIT for a AFB, you can make it run at any rpm
