[Healeys] Carb Adjustment Epiphany

[Ray Carbone]

Hi Dave,
According to the articles referenced, the procedure is consistent with 
previous understandings in all but which carb to mixture adjust.  All 
procedures, including carb synchronization, are followed in the same order 
as previously understood.  In the directions even the evaluation of 
rich/lean are consistent with previous understandings (if the RPMs raise and 
continue to run at increased speed after the back carb pin is raised, the 
front carb is evaluated as running too rich, etc).  Again, same speed 
evaluations are made except that the opposite carb is adjusted.  I suspect 
that this approach would depend on the cross-flow within the manifold.  I 
have tried this approach and it seems to work on my BJ8, however, without an 
exhaust analyzer it is hard to tell.
All the best,
Ray Carbone
