      Been a while, but I finally got a chance to take the car to work so I got a good 25 Mile drive to see how it's running.

      At idle and cruising on the freeway when it's flat, it's running at 13.7-14.0:1.

      But if I try to give it a little more throttle, like say 50%, or there's an incline, it goes up. Getting on the freeway it hit mid 15's and peaked at 16:1, and then further on the freeway when I hit an incline it peaked at 18:1!



      Since the idle is almost perfect, I'm going to assume it's a secondary issue.

      I don't remember what secondary jets are in it, but I'm going to bump them up a decent amount. I'd rather make a bigger change and just have it run richer but still be able to accelerate than still be lean and risk damaging anything.

      Right now I can't even accelerate hard because it's so lean that the engine just sputters and runs like crap.
