Default What screw adjusts the a/f?

I have a 2006 Mule and the dealer said it was running bad b/c of old/bad gas and it would clear up. That was 60+ hours ago and it is still running rough.

The front plug looks brand new after 60 hours and the rear plug looks appropriate. So I was thinking the front carb is lean maybe from adjustment and not obstruction. Maybe I/m wrong, but I figured if someone could tell me which screw adjusts a/f on the carb I would give it a shot.

Thanks
J

I would be more concerned on cleaning the carbs first and not mess around yet on the a/f screws. At least get a manual or your ride before you tear into it.

probably right. the thing is the dealership took the things apart(supposedly) 3 times and cleaned them. I have run several tanks thru them with seafoam and B12 fuel cleaner and no improvement.

are they really that tempermental as far as clogging up?

maybe that is my problem........I actually haven't worked on it at all. just keep driving it hoping it will clear up. the optimist in me. one day I will open up the bed and actually turn a wrench on it when I get sick and tired of the way it is running. right now just to busy, but I guess I could be working on it now.........

just have to get motivated...it only took 5 weeks for me to rebuild my car.

Ready??
If the front plug looks brand new, its not firing. Replace it.
If that doesn't help, you need to check for spark on that wire. Get a spark tester! (holding
it against the motor and cranking does not work)
If theres spark, one of the valves are hanging up (ie: no compression)
If no spark, bad coil (it happens) or bad igniter pick up (tells the coil to fire)
Both are internal and need some knowlege to repair....
