| My wife`s RB is going thru heaps of fuel & smelling rich at the exhaust.Is there a mixture screw to adjust this as i am unable to find a workshop manual for the RB gemis. Or any other sugestions as to why its going thru fuel (250km to a tank & the motor is in great condition) |

Leave it rich, Just as long as it drives OK
Better than being too lean.
250Kms to a tank is pretty gay thou.
Maybe your wife is a lead foot?? - sorry if afended.
also have a look for a fuel leak!!!. |

| On the side of the carby there is a round screw (not dished head) thats the mixture screw, turn anti-clockwise to lean or clockwise to richen it up more. It could be her choke on slightly also or even the choke butterfly sticking shut. |
