<VV> 64 Engine problems solved...for now??

Barry,

There is no need for sarcasm, although using the word did help let us 
know it was there!

When people are trying to type help procedures, they do not know the 
level of expertise of the reader. One can assume a level, but if the 
level chosen is wrong, instructions don't make sense. or dangerous 
conditions may occur. From your use of the term air mixture screw, you 
gave a level of knowledge that Matt was typing to. You used the 
incorrect word, how was Matt supposed to know what you really knew! Get 
the knot out of your shorts. This is not a personal attack, just a 
person trying to help you.
