    ive got the old mechanical fuel injected engine in the gti and it struggles to start and basically smells of petrol. its very slow to rev and respond to the throttle was maybe thinking the timing or mixture was out. how do i go about adjusting either of these to make it run better?

    if you dont rev it it will tick over fine, but seems to be running a bit rich really.

    thanks for your time
