Re: [DML] Fuel Injector Problem

["DMC Joe" <dmcjoe@xxxx>]

The most common problem concerning engine performance is problems in the
fuel enrichment circuit. The fact that you had to adjust the air fuel (CO)
mixture screw to make the engine run is a clue to an enrichment problem.
Check to be sure that the frequency valve is buzzing continuously during the
engine warm up phase.
