List,

I am rebuilding my Z-S carbs and have found the guts of both temp compensators
are missing.  It seems that could be a big contributor to the fact that one of
the carbs could not be set rich enough per the air valve lift test.  Also, the
idle has been unstable and starting when hot has been very difficult if not
attempted within a couple of minutes of shutoff.

 I suddenly have a real appreciation for the DPO comments I have been reading.
The compensators are about $50 a piece and only available as a complete
assembly.  Have any listers ran there car without them?  I only ask out of
curiosity as I have ordered new ones.
