Hey I'm not beating on anybody here, bad translation I have to translate everything from french and sometimes I screwup. This is an example .

I should've said " another step forward for this site " instead

LOL... there are a lot worse mistakes you can make....

US english: I'm going outside to have a cigarette
British english: I'm going outside to smoke a fag


US (in a hotel): I need a wake up call for 6AM.
English: Please knock me up at 6AM

some of this $hit can really get you in trouble here....

You bet, when I started driving trucks I was all over the country and since I didnt speak much english , most of the times I was eating the same thing in truckstops. One time I got tired of it and tried to order something else. I was in Laredo TX
After a while trying the waitress sugessted me some chili. I asked what it was and it looked like spaghetti sauce so I said "ok I'll go for that. She then asked me if I wanted it hot. Looked like spaghetti sauce ...of course I want it hot!

Damn thing was hot allright.
 
Great to see Lars again. He helped me with some distributor questions a few years ago, although I doubt he remembers me. Some of my projects would have been much more difficult without the help of people like Lars, Gary, and Jim.

Lars,

Been a long time.
Miss your many informative posts over on the Corvette Forum.
My carb which you set up for my 68 restoration project is still running like a Rolex.
Hope you are well my friend,

I need help
Hope you are well
Had to get my 68 towed home today; fuel problems.
How can I tell if I have water in the carb and how do I get it out.
Ran fine until the last fillup, stalled so bad today i had to pull off the road. Let it sit 5 minutes and it started and ran fine for a mile and then sputtered to a stop. Happened 2 more times so I finally called a ramp truck.It's my 68 with 327 and Rochester that you set up for me and ran fine all last year and fine this year until last gas fillup about 2 weeks ago. I only put 10-15 miles on it on weekends if weather is good.
How do I empty the carb of water or dirt in fuel bowl or needle and seat?
Thanks

Pull the carb off and flip it upside-down. Before restarting, prime the bowl with fresh fuel by pouring a couple of shots of fuel down the bowl vent tube.
