Thanks Jeff,
Dew point and temperature has been considered in this way. If it indeed
caused the condensation problem, why then is it only on my TR3. My car has
been parked next to 10 + TR3's at a show who all just drove as far as I have
and my car is the only one with the issue. My car is running very rich to
the point of going to a leaner needle.
My carbs are like ice cube cold to the touch.
