Re: AMC 150 too rich
The stepper motor controls the air bypass only on the Carter BBD carb.
This means full rich is pins all the way in.
I highly doubt you have a Carter BBD on a 4 banger though....
You should check to see what it is. They all are manually tuneable with
'hidden' mix screrws the same as the non electronic ones, but it is hard
to point you the right direction not being sure of the carb...

Re: AMC 150 too rich
Ok, you have the YFA carb.
The fact that it runs pretty decent with the stepper unplugged would
lead me to believe the mix is at least 'close' by default.
The YFA with the stepper still has the manual mix screw, same as the
BBD. They hide it under a metal plug in the base plate of the carb.
Some you can pull the blocking plug out with a point, others have to be
drilled and pried out.
If you set the carb with the throttle lever in front of you, the mix
screw will be in the base to your right under the plug likely.
I would highly recommend you get the Haynes CJ manual. It has a great
section on the carbs.

Re: AMC 150 too rich
Ok, you have the YFA carb.
The fact that it runs pretty decent with the stepper unplugged would
lead me to believe the mix is at least 'close' by default.
The YFA with the stepper still has the manual mix screw, same as the
BBD. They hide it under a metal plug in the base plate of the carb.
Some you can pull the blocking plug out with a point, others have to be
drilled and pried out.
If you set the carb with the throttle lever in front of you, the mix
screw will be in the base to your right under the plug likely.
I would highly recommend you get the Haynes CJ manual. It has a great
section on the carbs.
