really really rich...

I have an 88 t2 and it is running REALLY REALLY rich. I am not talking rotary rich(the way its supposed to be from factory).

When I get out of the car and sit for a second, my eyes will start to water its so bad. You can smell it while you are moving...

Anyways it misses a lot and it doesn't like the gas pedal when it is cold either. I don't have the air pump on... no emissions and the cat is pretty much dead I think (haven't taken it off and checked yet, but it has 130k miles on it.)

Power is also sketchy. it likes to hiccup very often w/ power...

This is a fresh motor. Any Ideas/thoughts?
