Did, with new from FLAPS.  No change in symptoms.

Agreed - we tracked down some "ignition funniness" by changing the points.  
Same condensor in there - no change in warm symptoms.

New Seth's wires were installed earlier, although they've been setting on 
the shelf in the bag for well over a year.

When we cover the right carb, engine doesn't stall.  Squirters work.  Ergo?  
Probable clogged jet.  No time to test this morning.  Gotta hit the road for 
St. Augustine.  Sure hope I can wake it up before tomorrows session.

Special thanks to fellow Corsa SC, Corsa and VV member Ed Kelly for 30 mins 
of debugging, points, and an extra set of carbs.
