There are 2 types of mixture controls on british planes.
The spitfire I think only has 2 settings. Auto rich and auto lean. Leave it at auto rich though. Fully forward. since the auto part of the function is not working.
with the mixture incremental at percentage: take off at 100 percent mix (Rich) when airborn if you see smoke. slowly decrease mix a bit till smoke is gone. What you could also do is open canopy look at exhaust flames. you want a nice steady blue flame (short).
Reddish is too rich and long blue is to lean.
The higher you go the leaner the mix needs to be.
