The Colortune kit instructions caution against leaving the parts installed
too long because of the heat.  I've found that they hold up just fine for
the amount of time it takes to adjust both carburetors.

Can anyone who has the kit tell me what the chemical is that is used to
clean the spark plug view window?  Mine is so old that the label on the
bottle is no longer legible.

I found the plastic tube that holds the mirror will melt if you leave it in
place too long.   Now I use an old Heathkit gas analyzer I bought off Ebay.
 BJ8's separate the exhaust gases, so I measure the richness at the pipe of
the carb I'm adjusting.
