Thanx for the most interesting education. I didn't know that you could even set the idle at the secondaries, so thanx again for that. The Cobra is still sleeping while I finish some other stuff, tho' never far from my mind.

Did have the occasion, last weekend, to put a kit in my '67 'Vette's 4160. Hard to start when hot and died when hot at idle and had fuel stains on the intake. Had come corrosion around the negative terminal of the battery, which didn't help. With the floats set by the preliminary method (level with bowl inverted) fuel poured out of the sight plug. To get "just a minimal trickle" the N/S had to be screwed in all the way...no threads showing. Car now runs great. Too much fuel is a bad thing...if it's at the wrong time! thanx again. s
