Check your float levels :P
For a carby rb30 for good eco and running you should be around:
Idle- 14:1
Cruise:14.3-16:1 Depending on what your motor can take
WOT:12.8:1

Yeah, I adjusted the float to be around quarter of the sight glass, which improved the mixture "super" rich issue, but it's still too rich.
Soot build up is way way too much inside the combustion chamber.
Now, I have a real PITA problem with the Innovate MTX-L wideband gauge.
The damn thing won't work with the software.
I need to change the fuel type to LPG, so I can tune the LPG system, but still haven't been able to do that.
I bought a USB to Serial adapter to use the Innovate gauge with a windows 7 machine.
At this stage I dunno whether it's a software issue or an adapter issue.
Either way I'm getting the below message.
The software( LM Programmer ) won't recognize the gauge at all.
I assumed the sensor need connected, so I plugged the sensor into the gauge as well.
I powered the gauge using a 12v battery.
Everything was done according to the guide in the manual.
Since my windows 7 desktop hasn't gota serial port, I used a USB to serial converter adapter, as guided by the user manual.
The adapter was a good quality one from Officeworks.
This is really frustrating.
If I knew any better, I would NOT have bought this particular gauge, and instead would've bought a one that doesn't need a PC connection to change the fuel type. It's too late now.
Typical usb adapter. Boot the computer up with forced hardware signature disabled then plug in adapter. Then power up the gauge. Then open the program.

Windows 7 is not detecting the adapter or the gauge, at all.
Yes.... try booting up with hardware sig disabled. Its a windows 7 and on security thing. Even if its plugged in windows will disable it and shut it down. You have to disable it to let the chip run. Smash the f8 button when u boot ur computer and it will give u options for startup pretty sure its the last one

Finally, got it going mate.
The damn adapter was stuffed, hence the reason for windows for not detecting the adapter at all.
I got it replaced & still it took quite a bit of fiddling for the driver to get to work.
Absolute PITA these wideband gauges that need PC connection with PITA adapters to do something simple like switching the fuel type.
Never again I would buy something like this without doing some homework on it.
Would hate to think what mine is running at. Can smell the fuel out the exhaust at idle haha. When I turn the idle mixture screwn, nothing happens, it never seems to seat - I'm guessing something is broken.
But, it keeps running and I don't have the time to strip it, or the money to pay someone to do it, so I've just gotten used to that lovely petrol smell at idle :P
