Where does your exhaust exit?
Yes it could be rich, could be exhaust leak, or could be like mine exiting before rear tires...
You can try adjusting carb a little, if it runs good though, mark where the screws currently are or track number of turns you adjust in cas you need to go back. Easiest way to do this is to take 2 small 3" fuel line pieces (5/16 i think, will check later today) that will fit snugly over the mixture screws. Then mark the 12:00 position and turn the screws with the hose ( no screw driver required
)
Also you can check the condition of your spark plugs as well to note how they look...

After sleeping on it and thinking about half the night and most of this morning I don't know why I posted here I know enough to know that I don't have a real problem. Nothing that I think I really need to worry about old jeep just probably needs a good tune up

Post a pic to be sure, but my particular carb has 2 mixture screws. one for each barrel. They need to be adjusted evenly.
You may have a single barrel, and perhaps only 1 mixture screw.
they or it is the screw by the bottom mounting plate of the carb.
