<x-flowed>Hi

Jim asked
It's interesting that running lean could lead to high HC output. Was  
it just so lean that some cylinders weren't firing at all?


but I do not know the answer. I know that when I was exploring the  
running engine all plugs looked good and when you pulled lead off 3  
or 4 cylinder the engine stumbled equally. So I concluded that they  
were both running at the same level. I guess if both were running  
very lean because of the carb setup then the CO would be low and the  
HC would be high. Increasing the CO resulted in a decrease in HC. It  
would have been nice to have my own exhaust gas system but they are a  
bit expensive....
