Engine running rich
The original engine in my M38A1 is running really rich. How do I adjust it so it is not so rich?

Re: Engine running rich
There is a good chance that the diaphragms in the carburetor are overage and cracked. If this is so, a rebuild is in order.

Re: Engine running rich
So is there a rebuild kit for these and where do I get one?

Re: Engine running rich
Kits are available from most of the vendors in Supply Line or MV magazine.
My understanding is this model is kind of tricky to rebuild. I sent mine off to have it done years ago.
