Hi Folks,

Went out this morning (4 pm now) to recheck the tune up and do some  
minor - so I thought - fuel air adjustments.

Valves OK

Plugs OK

Pentronix ignition

Timing OK

Float level OK

Dash Pot Oil OK

Fuel Air mixture NOT OK

I went back to ground zero backing the jets off 12 flats.  Lifting  
the front piston 1 mm engine speeds up - - back up two flats and it  
is OK.  Lifting the rear piston and the engine stops.  Have open it  
rear jet eight flats and it is only slightly better.  This does not  
seem right.  Am currently about brain dead, frustrated and if I do  
not get it up and going will miss SD British Car Day tomorrow.  I use  
to do all of this in about two hours.

Thanks All
