Right hand carby on type 3 engined trike running too rich
Just put some rebuilt carbys on the trike and when i start it up the right hand exhaust leaves black mark on the garage door, checked chokes &
they are working ok,. Can anyone direct me to a good carby guru in either the western suburbs of Melbourne or the inner city area.
Thanks

If it runs that rich it might be worth a quick look by you, could be something simple like a leaking needle + seat (where fuel enter's carb), wrong
float level, wrong main jet, incorrect idle mixture setting etc??
Also it will blow black smoke at start up if you pump the throttle a few times, but will clear once warm.
Post some more details and we may be able to help.
What carbs, what motor, more details on problem etc??
