What's operating temp? Depending on that, it might be prudent to go back to
195º for the winter.

Subject: DML: Help-Running too rich...

Hey all,

Well the temps here in Minnesota have been bouncing back and forth
between 25 and 40 degrees F. Since the drop in temps, my dak seems to
running reeeeeal rich even when it's at operating temp. I can smell it
in the exhaust, see black on the exhaust tips and most importantly if I
don't use moderate to heavy throttle all the time, it lugs or bogs, and
then misfires!

My mods include: MP SK-250 Teflon Coated Throttle body, Mesa headers,
Mesa Y pipe, Mesa hi-flo cat, K&N Generation II FIPK, MSD Digital 6,
Blaster SS coil, 3923's, Accel Distributor and Rotor and 180 T-stat.

Anybody got any ideas on what to check (sensors, gaskets, etc)?

TIA
