RE: I am here, Ich bin hier Je suis ici

Hang in there Don, spring is just around the corner.  @ 55 degrees here 
today in Iowa where we had a blizzard last week that shut down the 
Interstate hiways and U.S. hiways for 2 days ( I got a 4 day weekend out 
of it, yeah).  Most of the snow is gone just a week later.  
Installed the smaller jets and metering rods today when I got home from 
work.  Tried to get it started but no luck.  It came oh so close, but no 
joy. With no choke on the race model AFB this car is notoriously cold 
blooded.  I had a small shot of ether left which nearly did the trick 
but not quite.  Even with the old setup I had trouble getting it started 
when the temps dropeed near 50.  No matter, it will warm up soon and 
I'll be able to take the first shake down cruise of the season with the 
new jetting.
