Shane,
1) A carb balancing tool, Unisyn, is desirable but not necessary. The
stethyscope
tube at the mouth of the carb while listening for the same rushing sound on
each
will often do the trick. The Unisyn is more consistent though.
2) I consider a book a must have item. Especially for devices as mysterious as
carbs.
3) Usually a chicken or small mammal will do. Find a goat for the sure fire
cure.
I'm not up on the strombergs YET, so I'm unfortunatly little help with the
symptoms.
The YET refers to the soon to be operational Spitfire-6 the youngster is
working on.
:-)
Cheers,
Ken Boetzer
