How to adjust Mixture on Nikki

Lives on the Forum
You can adjust the idle mixture, but going beyond that you are getting in deep. Shouldn't really need adjustment beyond idle mixture anyway.

If you're worried about your gas mileage, get that idle back down to 750. If you can't get it to drop back down then you either have a vac leak or something binding the linkage.
Also, these cars run rich from the factory, especially without mods. Changing the mixture above idle involves changing jet sizes. If you really want to dig in that far just for a little better mileage, I would recommend enlarging the primary main air bleeds.

i adjusted it as much as I could with the idle screw, got it to about 1100rpm, then did my rats nest removal, and then it idled at about 500rpm, so i bumped it up to 800rpm
