A couple of weekends ago, Doug (mrbubblehead), Joe (Kapt Kaos) and I got together to fine-tune Joe's and the 'BB's' carburetors.

We got Joe's car running pretty well and the A/F readings were looking great. We ran into a little difficulty with mine and gave up since it was getting late in the day (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

This prompted the question - would there be enough interest to hold a larger carb-tuning clinic in the South Bay area (LAX)?

I offered to host the event at my shop in Harbor City and Joe suggested that we could merge a carb-tune clinic along with my Danmar lift assembly party. I said, why not.

EDIT (7/31): After numerous responses, the event is scheduled for Saturday, August 25th.

The 'Carb Clinic' will be headed up by Doug and will include carb theory/analysis and possibly some lab work (utilizing the latest high-tech equipment known to mankind)

I will be more involved with the 4-post lift assembly and will need some strong helpers (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

There will be food & drink, cool give-away prizes and Joe Sharp will be manning the grille (IMG:style_emoticons/default/jsharp.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

So the question is ... who (and how many of you) would be interested in attending this event? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Post here or PM me to RSVP, so we know how much grub to provide.

I'll PM the shop address ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/type.gif)
