Stripping and inspecting the carb would be one of the first things to do with a 'rich and lumpy idle'. Flooding being the likely suspect. But don't let that spoil a good story.... -- *I used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out * Dave Plowman dave(a)davenoise.co.uk London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound.

Your "deduction" does not follow from anything that I have said, nor can it since it's an incident that happened. It's difficult to know on what basis you are claiming that it's "lies" since you seem unable to explain yourself. So far you're about one step from telling me to Google for it, which is the usual last cop out of pratts like you.

I remember %steve%@malloc.co.uk (Steve Firth) saying something like: >Your talking complete shite, apparently bithely unaware of the fact that >you are talking shite. It's Jerry, ffs. He's only just got back out and his meds are all over the place. Hey Jerry - have you banged the rocks enough, yet?
