hmm well... here wheater temp goes up (eg. from 10 deg to 30 deg celcius), the needle goes richer...
i live in the netherlands.. and when it get's hotter, the engine simple will overheat, so we richen the mixture to keep the engine's cool....

i think the image that we all print, is rather country dependend.....
