All cylinders approx 13.2-5b dry. Plugs look pretty normal albeit 'sooty'.
What does the purge valve in the fuel line do? Should the top pipe from the manifold be 'loose' as it enters the main body?
I've been looking at the fuel supply side as high CO would point to overfuelling and when it was running 12%+ CO, it was smoking from the exhaust (so it has improved......a bit....).
