Yes, do this: chock the front wheels, jack up one side of the back. Parking
brake OFF, gearbox in gear. I prefer the left side since it's the side

left rear wheel.

Sounds like the front carb is way out,and the back one is about right, except
I haven't read the ColourTune instrucitons in a long while.
