[Fot] spitfire woes

[Bill Babcock]

Possibly resonance, you might be getting a node right around the jet  
area. You could try a different trumpet and see what happens--anything  
that changes the length of the intake should change the resonance of  
the system.

another possibility is float bowl frothing induced by carb vibration,  
or the float bouncing up and down.

One more reason I'd like to get rid of the SU's on the Ambro--I really  
don't want to learn all about these carbs.
