Default lumpy idle

just got my car started and ran hot yesturday. it was ticking over at 2k so i turned it down a to 1k and it started hunting.
the guy before me mentioned months before i bought it about idle issues and doin something to it.

he may have adjusted the co on the metering unit, not sure what he did.

if i put the car on a co machine and take the idle speed down a bit, do you think adjusting the co will cure the lumpyness?

it does smell very rich

Most likely yes, hunting is a sign of being too rich.
