    Adjust the pump eff table at 18-20 inch's. Tweak at the vacuum where its lean also.

    There is no preset limit so keep going until its ok. If you have to go too far, then tweak the idle fuel.

    Re: very lean at idle

    k i know this is old but i still haven't figured this ---- out. pump eff is at .89 so i assume if you go to .90 that it will richen up or will it lean it out? also on the fuelnothrottle when i adjust the a/fs around 18-21 in of vac it only seems to affect the a/f at idle when its cold. so again what the ---- do i adjust. thank you. recap. VERY LEAN WHEN WARM AND IDLE. LIKE 17.4-18.0+

    Re: very lean at idle
