What's up guys, I don't know what some others will say, but I can say what I know. In the summer, the air is hotter, and in effect, your car will be tuned a little richer than it would be when the air is cooler in the winter, without you touching anything. When the air is cooler, it's more dense, so for the amount of air that goes into the engine, it's like you're actually putting more air in the engine.

Anywho, if that doesn't make sense, (which it might not because I ramble a bit), in the winter your car will run better if the carbs are set a little richer than in the summer. So, if you're driving with your winter setting on the carbs, lean them out a little bit.

What carbs are you guys running?
