Hey THX Gino, I'd like to hear from the other glowing Los Alamos listers out there. Anyway.... I was able to return to my slightly smoke damaged house. Stinky but standing. No gas, so no warm showers yet but that should be fixed by today, good thing too . We'll slowly be returning to normal lives. The fires still burn but they don't threaten the townsite. Shoot there's not much left to burn. I'm one of the fortunate ones as I still have a house. The nearest total loss houses are about 1/8 mile from me. My family is still suffering from smoke inhalation and allergic reactions to the smoke, but I don't think those chunks are actually lung pieces. I hope. Many thanks to the wonderful people of the State of New Mexico (bad drivers and all). They really came through in short order. Have a great day. LaterZ Dash

It's been a while since I was in auto shop but I seem to recall that the venturi effect of a carburator is such that as more air flows through more fuel is sucked into the flow. So more air at any engine speed simply equates to higher air velocity at the bottle neck (the venturi) of the carb. So the jetting would just have to accomodate the max air that will flow at each of the three carb circuit positions. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks Jim Jackson II (better to remain silent and thought a fool.. oh never mind...) A13 - South Carolina
