Does anybody know how to lean out the idle mixture on a Pierberg Carb. This carb is on a 1987 Merc 190. She is running extremely rich at idle. Its is a 175CDT not 174 as listed on heading Dave |

There's a screw on it, I'm struggling to remember where though - I'll check when I get home. |

underneath the carb you will see a long protusion with a wire coming off it,at the top of this(fuel shut off switch) you see a 22mm nut,loosen this nut and rotate the shutoff switch(clockwise to weaken anti to richen). they are very sensitive to adjustments,really you need a mixture analyser to do it properly. Before i did this i would check that the choke hasnt stuck on. |

Thanks for the advice. How do you check the choke diaphram to see if it is sticking. The Merc seems to idle up when cold and comes to a normal idle about 2min later. I assuming, by that action that the choke circuit is working properly. No black smoke when cold or hot, only the smell of a rich mixture at idle when hot. Thanks Dave
