Obviously not an engine overhaul shop, just a regular guy who is good with engines? You really want the mixture control working properly and if that requires a carb overhaul, go for it. You should lean everywhere you can not only to conserve fuel but to keep the innards of the cylinders clean.
Good luck with it!

My new engine (C-85-12F) is coming back next week and the rebuilder said he had wired the mixture full rich to which I replied I didn't want that done. My guess is if you don't live away from sea level much or fly cross country much it might not matter. I do want to be able to lean above 5000' though so I want to keep it cabled to the cockpit. Am I missing anything? Rich N3881H
