Earlier I posted a message regarding the carburettor temp comp's on my 74 TR-6

I can report that I found no 'definitive' answer on how or what the
opening/closing temps should be on these units. Everything says 'Don't
Touch!'. However after installing the temp comps, as adjusted above, and
driving around for a week I will have to say that the car runs better than
before -- no stumbling - even when hot or cold. A major improvement! If the
above temps are not *exactly* correct, they must be in the ball-park.
Thanks to all that responed with words of encouragement.
