Depends what carb it is, when it's rich, and why.

Re: Quad jet running rich

You're gonna have to do better then that bud. You need to help us help you, we can't read your mind.

- How do you know it's rich
- What OEM carb? That's like saying it's got an OEM engine. Is this computer controlled still? Are both the MCS and TPS set up and working?

I know its running rich because of the gas fumes that irritate my eyes while in the car.

Re: Quad jet running rich

hey maga, he is right, we need more information. Is the carb a computer controlled E4ME? Do you have any check engine lights on, possibly pointing towards a throttle position sensor? If you check on the side of the carb, you should find some numbers casted in. Write them down and send them our way!
