Hello,

       The weekend is upon us. Most of us in the Pacific Northwest are
       THANKFUL for global warming.. otherwise it might be FREEZING
       out here.. today's high is less than 60 degrees, and yesterday
       Vancouver BC set an all time record for the lowest high
       temperature for the date. At least there's NO chance for
       sunburn as there are only a few slivers of BLUE sky to be
       found... man, am i looking forward to heading EAST for LoTO...

       All that said, i did have a chance to warm up the engine and
       adjust the valves with feeler gauges instead of the
       Click-Adjust... hmmmm .. looking for .018 HOT.. had everything
       from .015 to .O21. So much for consistency with the fancy
       tool..... so now they're all set to the same thing... next,
       I'll find out what this setting is COLD so i don't have to warm
       up the engine first to set the valves..

       and i may have to set the carbs.. the idle seems higher now
       than before.... .. hmmmmmmmmmm?  !

Best regards,
