<VV> Corvair still a little funny

[Dennis & Debbie Pleau]

Dan,

I would suggest you set every adjustment in your carbs to the book.  Some 
people have made a minor tweak from the book here and there and may have 
got a little bit better performance, but they will run really well at the 
book settings.  Your description sounds like your lean.  Check the needle 
and seat and fuel pump pressure.
