adjusting smoke or load screw on 1.6 na
« on: June 29, 2006, 07:25:05 am »
as the subject states.  had my 1.6 rebuilt last fall and a new IP installed.  still smoking a "little" heavy and i want to lean it out a bit.  i picked off the factory "crimp-lock" or band but the screw is still firmly in place- do i need to loosen the nut at the base of the screw on the IP plate to adjust the screw?  thanks in advance, best regards to all who read and/or post.  tad

Hi

I am also interested in this,  I am also experiencing a bit of smoke.

I was able to greatly reduce the smoke by replacing old injectors they were all gunked up. I also rebuilt the head to remove a leak, but I guess it also helped with the smoke.

If I can further reduce the smoke by adjusting the IP would be great.

You can do it without removing the tamper-proof collar. Just loosen the 13mm nut on the fuel screw, and turn it back 1/8th turn at a time. Makes a dramatic difference. When you do this, you may have to adjust your idle a bit. Increase it that is.
