    2004 BF40A limiter on fuel/air screw

    New plug in #1 same results, turns black. Do not have a spark tester. The carb work was done by someone else.

    2004 BF40A limiter on fuel/air screw

    Good morning, thank-you for the quick reply. No. 1 cylinder is running way too rich. The carbs were taken off and cleaned. The last 2 or 3 years the #1 (or top) cylinder spark plug and exhaust port are black. Do you think I'm barking up the wrong tree with wanting to tune the carb? All in all...
