[Healeys] On the road again!

[john spaur]

I am declaring my 1962 MKII 3000 officially back on the road after a 
multi-year restoration. I have only driven it about 160 miles on 
short trips. There are a few things to finish up and it needs some 
fine tuning because it seems to lack the power I feel it should have. 
There is a little backfiring while accelerating and under load 
uphill. The front and rear carbs are a little rich and the middle 
carb seems fine as judged from looking at the plug colors. It is 
mostly stock except for a Denis Welch cam and a lightened flywheel. 
It also has a Lempert differential which kind of makes the OD useless.

Many thanks to all of the listers. The help was invaluable and 
provided the answers and guidance that was so often needed during the 
restoration process. I am not leaving the list because I am sure to 
have more questions, need help and of course, help others achieve 
there goal of keeping these wonderful cars running.

Sincerely,
