[Shotimes] '93 MTX 60k done-won't start

[Leigh Smith]

I remember now...

fiddling with idle mixture screws, changing jets, sticking needle & 
seats, backfiring, plugged nickle filters, blown power valves, chokes 
constantly sticking, carb icing, eyes burning, pump the gas 7 times, 
backfiring, flooded it again, fouled plugs, carb fires, starting fluid...

These were the good old days????

Back when fuelies whistled and only came on vettes;
and 11:1 ones and Sunoco 240 smelled sweet

Lee (old enough I guess)
