Hi Gary,

Thanks for the info. Pardon, if this is a silly question. What would cause it to idle decently, when first starting up, and then very poorly the moment the accelerator is depressed?

Secondly, what is your opinion on cleaning the fuel distributor- meaning is it possible to effectively clean it? I read somewhere that it can not be cleaned. It is one of the things that concern me. It is not as before, when you could easily replace it with a spare.

Finally, do you know if a later H engine fuel distributor will work- in case my old one is defective.

Thanks for the help. Meet you at Carlisle again.
