Re: [T3] cutoff valve

["Brad" <BnPWOOD2@att.net>]

Steven,
    If there is air leaking in around the butterfly valve shafts, would this
not make the mixture more lean?  My problem is too rich.

If the bushings are not part of a kit, then where do I get them?

FLAPS??? I thought these were the things that gave airplanes lift at low
speed, or reduce the spray from truck tires.

Thanks
Brad
