    Idle Mixture screw

    Ok, so i can tell my accord is getting too much gas. i can smell it and feel it. But when i try to find the screw on my carb. There doesnt seem to be anything in the hole where it is supposed to be. Is therea secret to it. or could it be missing.

    Also, what size would the screw be for it.

    there is a cap over the screw. you have to take the carb out and remove the cap. there is no other way around it.
    how do you know the carb is getting too much gas? are you leaking gas from somewhere?
    If you smell it, you are leaking gas big time. It is time for rebuild or replacement.

    Have you inspected the car/carb for potential gas leaks or any other potential causes?

    I was recentley smelling gas as well, credit a slow leak at the float adjustment screw.

    If I may point out, that screw only affects the idle air/fuel mixture. If you are smelling gas driving down the road, its not going to help you.
