Re: Smog Check problem
Hein,
Your problem is probably to rich a fuel mixture, leaning out the
mixture should cure both problems. HC being high along with high CO
indicated rich mixture. Easy problem to fix.
You need a CO meter, Heath Kit used to make the one I have, other sources
may include Sears.
The Adjustment is thru a hole under a plug adjacent to the air inlet
hose (large Dia) on top of your Air Flow Meter.
I can't remember the size , but I think it is a hex (allen) key, approx
3 mm, maybe 5mm. Get a manual and procede from there.
Or have the mechanic adjust the CO, ONLY!
Other contributors can be: Dirty Air Filter, bad plugs, perhaps timing.
