Can anyone help me my 325 is running bad,it seems to me that is is over feulling but Im in need of more opinions.When I start it sometime it can have a smell of petrol and blows a bit of blue smoke out on setoff and aslo when you let off the accelerator it judders at around 1500rpm when the revs are dropping,so far Ive tried another afm which made matters even worse then altered the screw on my original one and got it running fine and starting without smelling of petrol but it still judders and has started smelling a bit when started
Its getting really annoying now as the engine has only done around 15000
mile and it was running perfect
all help would be appreciated

cheers dude ,its strange how it stops doing it for a while though thats why its puzzling me at the mo as its when it corrects itself it runs well no smoke or juddering is it possible for the TB to be sticking open thus causing overfuelling and blue smoke
