Due to the dreadfull spray pattern of 403's the vast majority of YB engines have a very lumpy idle when trying to idle at anything near lambda 1. (14.7 :1)

A very healthy engine with std cams will usually be ok at around 13.0:1 with 403's, but in general best to run them slightly richer to ensure a good quality idle.

Remember this is only at idle folks and will cause no harm to the engine at all!
