The 2 mixture screws in the front of the carb, Screw them in all the way and back each of them out about 4 turns. If you have a vacuum gauge hook it to direct manifold vacuum. Start the engine and slowly turn each one in till you notice a drop in vacuum. Turn it back out 1/2 turn. You may need to do this several times to each side to get the best mixture.
