Thanks for the help 140-160

Thanks for helping with the 142. I followed all the advice you guys gave - going through a pretty comprehensive check of all the stuff you suggested. Two problems surfaced and they're both easy to fix. The jet seats looked awfully low, so I adjusted them up 1/2 turn (leaned her up a bit). There was fuel leaking from the hot start valve (the tube going to the carbon-filled canister), so the float is too high. The car runs pretty well, but gas drips from the tube. NAfter I set it properly, I'll go back and fine-tune the everything-set timing, carbs, etc.

Again, thanks a bunch.

Jim Hampton
