As soon as I place the base of the air filter on (it's a RA setup), the AFR jumps to 14.2 - 14.4 and runs rough. I lift the pan of and it goes back to 13.2 The pan is not interfering with anything, the carb is not loose, its a JET stage 2. This can't be normal. Otherwise the car runs great. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
This is why the shop manual says to adjust the mixture screws with aircleaner ON.
