<VV> Re: Clearing Carbs

[J R Read_HML]

Well, I does not work EVERY time (I never tried the upside down thing and 
don't think I will) but the rev the engine and cup the hand over the carb 
has not failed me yet.  Not that it is common (everything is clean in the 
fuel system), but it DID happen on a prior Vair a few times - until I fixed 
it RIGHT!

Later, JR
