You can use the three-high three-low method, which involves first adjusting the mixture ratio to make the engine speed reach its highest, then adjusting the idle speed to make the engine speed reach its lowest point, and then adjusting the mixture ratio again. Repeat this cycle three times, and finally slightly increase the idle speed. This way, the carburetor of the vehicle can operate at its optimal condition. There are usually two types of carburetor mixture ratio screw adjustments, with the actual effects after adjustment being: 1. Air-adjusting type: Turning clockwise to tighten increases the richness of the gasoline mixture, while turning counterclockwise reduces the richness and increases air. 2. Fuel-adjusting type: Turning clockwise to tighten increases the air intake and reduces the fuel intake, i.e., leans the mixture; turning counterclockwise reduces the air intake and increases the fuel intake, i.e., enriches the mixture.

Why does the fuel cap warning light stay on after closing it?

The fuel cap is manually operated, so there is no alarm system. After refueling, it's best to double-check whether the cap is properly tightened and securely closed. Pay attention to the fuel cap status: After refueling or getting in the car, check the rearview mirror - safety comes first. Sometimes the switch button might be accidentally bumped by your legs when entering the vehicle. If the fuel cap remains open, any external sparks falling into the fuel tank could potentially cause a fire. Forgetting to close the fuel cap during rain could allow water to enter the fuel tank, leading to engine water damage. Important precautions: Do not use mobile phones while refueling. It's best to leave your phone in the car or turn it off. Many drivers, especially female drivers, often casually place their phones on the fuel cap during refueling at gas stations. If the phone rings at this time, it could cause a fire that destroys both the car and the fuel pump. Never start the car engine while refueling.
