Hi Graham,
No, I'm running a Weber DGV downdraft. Before the tune, I needed a bit of
choke, but since replacing the wires, plugs, cap, adjusted the valves and
whatever else, the car starts almost immediately, idles smooth and turns off
instantly -- no pre-ignition. I don't believe I'm running too rich, but
I'll check it again. Turning the adjustment screw down half a turn causes
the engine to run a bit rougher. Opening it up half a turn does the same.
I attribute the lack of necessity for the choke to the 75-80 degree (F)
weather we've been having in San Diego lately. WHATEVER the reason, I like
it!
Best wishes,
Jeff
