[Healeys] Fw: A bit of tuning advice

[Dick Matson]

My Goodness.  I once inherited a 5-gallon container of Marvel Mystery Oil.  I
still have most of it.  I put a little in the Farmall gas tank when I fuel it
up.

I used it for dash pots but get that from David Nock.  There's something about
it that on Davids container it says dash pot oil.  I like that.

Use a fairly light oil. 3 in 1 is fine but may disappear fairly quickly.
ATF is the most commonly used oil in the dashpots. Better than the
usually manufacturers prescribed engine oil, which is to heavy. There is
a special oil for these carbs but I cannot remember type or name as it
is not generally used.
