[Bmcu] SU Carb Needle for Utah mountains

[Gary Lindstrom]

Bill,

I concur with Jon Hermance that lean needles are a good idea at our 
altitudes.  The guideline is that they are recommended over 5,000 ft., 
and I've found them very helpful in getting the right mixture range even 
at 4,500 here in SLC.

As you probably know, for TR3's the recommended needle designations are 
SM normal, RH rich, and SL lean.

Cheers,
	--Gary
