Just finished tuning the TD--thanks for the advice regarding timing and
plug gaps. It simply purrs!--well, it does now. For a short while I was
baffled by very poor running and lots of dark exhaust fumes. I had turned
the jets up to maximum lean and it was still running incredibly rich. Only
then did it occur to me that I had neglected to push the choke back in! The
idle then smoothed right out and I got the carbs in sync and the mixture
adjusted properly. Took it for a short test drive and it honestly runs
better than it has since I got it. Guess I should have done this before!
