    so does anyone know how to lean out the carb on my 88 22r? the truck has 270k mi on it so the carb might need to be rebuilt. i'm not sure what was done to it before I bought it at 200k mi. I've rebuilt carbs on dirt bikes (hence the name rockslinger) but never on cars. is it pretty close to the same thing? any input would be much appreciated. thanks :)

    With that high mileage are you sure it's running rich & not pushing oil?:cool:

    i'm pretty sure its not pushing oil. it will do a little backfire action threw the exaust if i get on it while its cold, but not operating temp. I can also smell a little raw fuel after shutdown.
