Re: [T3] My new Carbs

<x-charset Windows-1252>Thanks Neil and Keith,
I'm about to swap back to the '73 spec jets both sides, and try the choke
flaps again! Its just I had so much trouble with them on the old carbs- it
was much easier to start without them!
Stock vac dizzy with newish hose and diaphragm was all right last time I
checked, but I'll check again.
Idle screws look good but I'll try swapping them.
If its the "look, listen, do it better", thanks but I have it already- its
very good!
Overall, despite the teething troubles, I get the feeling that the engine
prefers these carbs at the higher RPMs, though that might just be my
expectations!
Thanks for all your help
