Running too rich..

My dad looked at my exhaust and said my GSX is running way too rich.....I'm guessing because it's really black even on the outside of the pipe??? I'm assuming it would be a carbuerator adjustment that would be needed, but am I right?

Plus, if my car is running too rich, that means I'm burning too much fuel without enough air.....so does that mean I'm losing some power???

Lemme know thanks.

Running rich is ok. You supposedly get more power from it, as long as the air is good also. Buy a A/F guage and a wideband O2 sensor and see what it says. Or, go with a A/F tuning device. I cant think of what the name of them are.

Um, last I heard, you don't have a carb....it's fuel injection. Check your O2 sensor with a logger.
