Help,
The Alpine was running fine then all of a sudden
started started to sound like it was running on 3
cylinders when I accelerate, idles ok-ish.  Backfires
through the strombergs if I open it up all the way. 
Usually this was due to my dual stroms becoming un
syncronized because the "doo Jobby" that connects the
throttle shafts would loose up.  Any suggestions?
Also, its been a while since I rebuilt the stroms, but
the center part of the air piston that the needle goes
into slides up and down within the airpiston as it
floats.  Is this the culprit or is it supposed to do
that?

Thanks,
Chris
