[Healeys] carbs

[Mike S]

Starts ok when warm (no choke), although sometimes the starter seems a 
little sluggish.  Hard to tell.  I believe the point gap is still ok, 
but will check.  Haven't checked the compression in a while.  Will do.  
I keep thinking it's a choke problem, but they seem adjusted ok.
