91 1.6 205 Running Rich (Help) - chrscmbs

Hi everyone,

My 205 XL AUTO on a H reg. (1991) is running very rich... ???

I'm going to give it a new air, oil and fuel filter, oil change, and new spark plugs but that's about the extent of my knowledge and capability lol when it comes to my pug's running.

It has a manual choke, and I have a Haynes manual on its way too but in the mean time is there anything i can do to stop it running so rich?

When i start it on a morning it turfs some right pink fluffy dice out lol and it reeks of petrol, then once I'm on my way it runs ok mechanically but it is still running rich, Any Idea's would be grateful received as i would like to adjust it if it's possible.

Chris.
