<VV> Freaking newbies...

[John O'Shea]

Perry has asked for help over at corvaircenter.com about virtually every 
part on a Corvair.  When numerous knowledgeable people reply with solid help 
he regularly argues with them, criticizes the shop manual, often ignores 
their advice and presses on as before.

There is a classic example of this right now in a corvaircenter thread where 
Perrya is asking about adjusting 140 secondary carbs.  It has taken Matt 
Nall and others more than a week to talk Perrya out of his fixation that 140 
secondary carbs magically "come in" at 3500 RPM.  After maybe a dozen 
messages he seems to now understand that the 140 carb linkage is not magical 
and if you put your foot all the way in it the secondary carbs will "come 
in" even if the engine is not running.  Phew!
BTW, what he's trying to adjust is a kludge mixture of 1965 and 1966 140 
linkage that "just won't work right".  DOH!

When it was announced that Perry had published a Corvair maintenance book 
some of the older guys on corvaircenter had to be resuscitated.
