  11.   After doing a carburrator cleanup at a garage my car started pinking
  12. very heavily. Since the ignition timing was not changed I suspect that the
  13. carb is mal-adjusted. Before I tamper with it: Can pinking be caused by
  14. over-reach or over-lean mixture? I guess that the mal-adjustment is marginal
  15. as there is no smoke from the exauhst.
