Code 23

Got my Carb'd Bird going and after the maiden test drive this came up.
From what I understand 23 = Mixture Control Solenoid but I couldn't come up with any other info to resolving it.

Re: Code 23

Is the MCS in the carb clicking when the key is turned to 'run'? It should click for about a minute if the engine isn't started and continuously while the engine is running.
