Question clean tank

When the car stalls does it emit black smoke from the exhaust or smell heavily of unburnt fuel? If so, you might want to try tweaking the 3mm adjustment screw 1/8 of a turn CCW to lean the mixture. If this improves matters, the mixture is too rich. If it is worse, try 1/4 of a turn CW (which results in a 1/8 turn rich from your original starting position) to see if matters improve. Once you find you are going in the correct direction, adjust in 1/16 turn increments to obtain a decent idle. Once you get to where the engine will run decently you can then check other posts to adjust the duty cycle properly. Mark
NOT REPORTED to me so I must say no! they did brag about how much was done but I replaced the fuel filter so I am shure they did not clean the tank or the screen,how hard a job is this to do?
