I have such a strong fuel smell that I was just sure I was idling rich. But, then again I'm already at 15.1-15.4 at cruise so that seems to be good. Amazing what you can find out after a single drive with one of these gauges.

before going twisting away your idle mixture screws please do the following:
1. check your timing, if its low like 10° bump it to 12° then test drive it, you may need to decrease your idle speed a bit to compensate for the higher RPMs, observe the gauge, then bump it to 14°, rinse, lather, repeat
2. check/adjust float levels before twisting the idle mixture screws
