Thanks a lot, Scott! I suspected it's running rich - I'm only getting about 13 mpg and if I hold a rag near the exhaust for a second I can smell fuel. Checking the spark plugs will be the first thing I do after I park it for the winter.

I also suspect the car wasn't driven much after the carbs were rebuilt and tuned so they might be gummed up. The PO is a collector who has a few 911s so it probably sat in his garage.

I'm new to carburetors and find them intimidating but I'm looking forward to start playing around with them. I will probably make them worse before I make them better but that's how we learn. I've found a lot of good information here on this forum that I will try to digest before I dive in! Thanks again!
