[Healeys] Running Pretty Rich

[Olin Brimberry]

Not experienced with the dip tubes, but I would say put it it like it  
was.  And if you do not have access to a gas analyzer, get one.  They  
are the most accurate for achieving stoichiometry.  Using the manual  
and the rule of thumbs will get you real close.

No, the carbs are at a lower pressure and thus are inhaling the fumes  
for you.

All carbs will run rich if not properly adjusted

I hear the peripheral vision is not so great and could be a safety  
hazard.
