Are you looking at your AFR gauge to come to the conclusion its running rich?

It will show green when planting your foot down, thats normal, it should then start to rise and fall on steady cruise, its when it goes red when planting your foot that you've got trouble

They run richer than their owners!!

Get it checked by someone with a wideband AFR is you're concerned.

Do you have a knocklink? Is it showing any activity?
