This didn't seem to make it out the first time I sent it, so here goes
again:
  
   Anybody got any good advice about tuning the ZS carb on a 76 spitfire?  I
 had to rebuild the carb last winter, and had a hell of a time trying to
 figure out how to tune the mixture.  Since the carb was rebuilt, the car
 hessitates (it'll loose power for a split second, then get it back,
 then lose it again) on acceleration when it's cold (especially when I've got
 the choke out), but once it warms up to temp it seems to be fine. 
   I'm guessing it's the mixture out of wack, since I didn't know how to tune
 that well, but might it be some other problem?  
   Also, does anybody know if that "colortune 2000" system, which claims to
 make tuning a breeze, is actually useful?
 
   Thanks for any help you could give me,
