<VV> interesting carb problem discovered- oops

[Ray Rodriguez III]

Now I know why it was running decent..  it was an auxiliary that was blocked 
after all, had the carb locations mixed up.  Regardless its still really 
scary that someone put it together without noticing that... makes you wonder 
what else they could have missed.  Actually it kinda reminds me of that one 
photo in I believe "How to keep your corvair alive".... with the three shop 
rags found in between the cylinders on one side.
