I have used Der Ottor Werks on 28th in Ogden (621-0830) with good success. The
key with carberator adjustment is to tune it so that it passes at high rpm, but
then very carefully manage the drop in rpm to idle speed. The state has a
required rate of rpm change / second, so be sure to use all of it to burn off
the excess hydrocarbons. If you drop the engine speed too fast, the
hydrocarbons accumulate and will cause you to exceed the standard. Phil at Der
Otto Werks can get you through it
As you well know, the engines are temperamental at low temperature, so if you
are registering a car for the first time, plan on registering it in the summer
so you can have it performinng in its proper habitat. I stupidly registered
mine in January, so it takes a bit more babying.
Good luck

Hi Ryan,
I'm up in Ogden as well. There is no way my 79 MG will pass. Last
year i managed to register it in Tooele to avoid all of that. But i
won't be able to do this again, so we'll both be in the same boat for
2008.
Last year the guy wouldn't even pass me for safety because my car
doesn't have windshield washers!
I'm going to look around to see if i can find someone who will pass
for a fee. If you find a way around it, please let me know...and i
will do the same.
Another option that some group members have suggested in the past is
to take your car to Bailey's. They may be able to repair or replace
whatever is keeping you from passing.
Keep us posted...
