Hey all.

So I've rebuilt my carburetor on my Hornet ( Carter WDG 776S).  I'm now to the point of setting/adjusting it.  I have the shop manual and have been reading up on the process, but I'm wondering if there are any tips/tricks to get it close or make the process easier.  It seems to require a lot of special gauges that I don't have...YET.  I'm searching for those now.

I have the car "running," but MAN IS IT RICH!  It completely blacks out my garage in just a couple of minutes.  After reading through the manual, I'm pretty sure I have the Idle screws WAY too far out.  So, I'll fix that first thing when I get home.

Thanks in advance!!
Ryan
