Basically, my gas mileage sucks on my 22r and I want to adjust the mixture and choke for summer driving conditions.
Anyone have any recommendations/settings?
I'm kinda new to carbs. Understand how they work and such, but not sure if I should lean it out or richen it for summer and vice versa for winter, tempreature, elevation, etc etc.

TTT, still chugs gas uneccesarily.
Welded rear, 31inch LTB bias', but they're aired way up.
Doubt those should matter.
It's a bitch to start in the mornings sometimes. It'll only be 60ish degrees and the thing will notttttt want to start. So I have to roll it down the hill and pop the clutch in second to get it to fire, then fight with it to idle till it warms up.
Choke?

what's your MPG right now?
is the early morning starting the only problem?
i wouldn't mess with the low speed air fuel mixture, or the choke. they are factory set and i have never found that adjusting them ever did me any good.
in fact the low speed air/fuel mixture screw should be blocked off with a plug.
have you checked to see that your choke even is working?
check the wiring and look for cracks or breaks in the wiring to the choke.
get a manuel, and go through the carb checks.

Well, I figured I'm getting about 15mpg right now.
Yes, morning is the only time that it's being a bitch to start.
I'll check the choke wires, as the wires going to my master cylinder lid are in about the worst condition ever.
