Ein bisschen zu mager, dies wurde mit einer Umdüsung korrigiert.
This text was written by a Swiss-German speaker and while I can find the term on the web I have no idea how to express it in English. It's about a racing bike where the fact that the mixture was "lean" was corrected by "Umdüsung". Any ideas?
