The choke properly opens when she is warmed up.
I suspect it may be an elevation thing, jetted for sea level, but running at 5000+ feet all the time, with frequent trips over the mountains? No HAC yet, California emissions.
When ever I start her up when cold, she drips gas out of the exhaust pipe and runs quite rough. Strong gas smells and clouds of gas vapor (?).
In the past few weeks she keeps carbon fouling spark plugs, including this brand new set I just installed:


Do I need to rejet her? Do carb rebuild kits come with jets? Will installing a working HAC make a huge difference?
