On the drive home to the Bay Area, I was regretting
not taking Keith up on his offer for a carb
tune/review...
I drove back to SF in a small caravan with 2 other
roadsters. When the lead car started up the steep
incline hills at San Luis Obispo at 75MPH, my car
bogged down. Sputtered a bit at about 70 MPH...
During this one-hour leg of the trip the speeds were
very spirited! When we filled up, I realized how out
of whack my carbs must be...Got only 20 MPG.
Oh well..next project :)
