decarb and runing way to rich

[Turin]

My engine ran on diesel for a bit. see my other tread.

I have decarb my engine, it ran fine for a while but now it runs way to rich again.
Should i simply just reset my mixture again or could someting else be wrong.

The mixture was so rich it drownd after iddeling 3min.

I have done this myself.

You can actually use TOO MUCH Seafoam in too little fuel and what you describe will happen. It delutes the octaine so baddly that you don`t get complete combustion. Not saying that this is the issue, just a posability.

That could be the problem (i didnt use seafoam obut some other stuff bought in Holland).ment for car engines
It worked great so i added some extra.
So ill refull this weekend and it will be fixed. hopefully.

I hope that`s all it is. If you take out your plugs and they are very sooty and black it probably is. I ended up with about 15 gallons of gas with the equivelant of almost three cans of seafoam. Not a good thing. Ran fine at WOT, but wouldn`t Idle for more than about 30 seconds without fouling out.

We don`t want to talk about how that could happen with an intellegent person like myself! IMHO.
