I'll bet he has.
Got to go load up the Radical, I'm playing with the SCCA this weekend. I
have to regain my reputation after the fiasco last time when I dialed out
all my camber chasing tire temps at a track with long straights. Dumb.
By the way Kas, I reread that suspension article I sent you, and you're
right--I swapped positive camber for negative and vice versa everywhere
but in the definition. You probably already fixed that. Someheimers
strikes again.

Hey, Kas, haven't you heard that 90% of carb problems are ignition
based? Cheers, Ed.

Obviously
not likly with a fuel cell.
Easy one next, needle and seat that have crud in them and not allowing
full
fuel passage.
Next, float level too low. (too easy to be the problem)
The next one happened to me and was almost a mystery. The adjusting nuts
on
the S.U. carbs slowly closing up from resonance of engine and leaning
out
the mixture. Okay for a few laps then then the top end just goes away
from
lack of fuel. Put a wedge to stop the jet from moving up and the problem
solved.
