What other things would typically be set-up in a tune up or is it
generally only the carbs that are touched, would they look at timing/plug
gaps etc?
I already have the gunson colortune and I might invest in the carb
balancer too. I was thinking of getting my car professionally tuned but
I'm not sure that I'll bother now too.
cheers
