other suggestions.

Keith,

=20

I also have a TR4A with HS6s.   An issue I have regularly, but only when =
I store it for a couple weeks or more in warm to hot temps, is that some =
kind of blockage gets created in the jets.  It causes similar symptoms =
as yours, but maybe not as pronounced.  It will normally idle OK, but =
has no power when I try to drive it. =20

=20

What I've learned to do is pull the carb's top covers (bell shaped =
housing) and piston/needle assembly out and then spray some carb =
cleaner, WD40, or any kind of thin HC based spray into the top of the =
jet using one of the "straws" attached to the can.  Doesn't seem to be =
sensitive to how much. This immediately fixes it and I've gotten to =
where I can do it in less than 10 minutes.  =20

=20

Sorry, I'm on the digest so this may be a bit behind.  Hopefully the =
problem is already solved.

Ben...
