My bike seems like it runs rich. I smell unburnt gas when she is idling, and I get awful mileage (like 27 mpg). This post probably really has 2 questions: One - I was inspired to mess with the round knob there by the gas cover, and found it will not turn. I twisted as hard as I dared, but it felt like I was going to actually damage the cable, so I stopped. Any suggestions?
Two- I read a thing saying you could adjust the air-fuel mix by a screw on the carb, and it said it should be accessible from the right side of the bike, but I don't see anything. (1990 Gl 1500). Am I looking in the right place? Do I have to strip some plastic off?
Also, it runs great, in case that's pertinent.
