Not too good thanks Herb. I tried enriching the mixture a bit by turning 
that nut on the bottom of the carbies, but I'm not real sure of what I'm 
doing and now its running like a dog. I think I'll take it for a tune up at 
a LBC specialist and ask if I can observe and learn the tricks of S.U 
tweaking...Any hints for me? I would prefer to do it myself and keep the 
cash
