<VV> Fw: At work with a delimna

[Charles Birchwood]

Took half my lunch break to do some diagnostic work and looking into the carb 
throats, I think some answers are starting to come forward. I put my carb-sync 
on my drivers' side carb and it was pulling fine, but as soon as I put it on the 
passenger side, the motor choked out. I started it back up and noticed that the 
passenger side idle is pulling a whole lot of gas drip down into the cylinders 
while the passenger side seems to be functioning fine.

I had a Corvette many moons ago that would barely keep running at times when the 
temp was low, but not really cold, rainy. It was I assumed, condensation in 
eihter or both float boawls and fuel tank. A can of good Gas Dry absorbed the 
moisture.
