Hello !

I have a question:

I have an '82 Corolla. I want to reduce the gas in the carburetor. Which screw do I turn and in which direction?

Thanks!
Janet

You adjust the float.

New problem. Smelling gas in the exhaust and the gas mileage has gotten really bad. Today I noticed a little gas between the manifold and the engine.
I would prefer not to catch on fire so if anyone has an idea of what this might be, I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
Janet

uhm, I dont see how thats possible, since there are no fuel lines on that side, plus I dont see how your car would run if fuel came out the back completely unburnt. You sure it wasnt something other than gasoline near the manifold, condensed water, oil? Have that car checked out by a professional mechanic.
