My appology.  I thought you were gaging at the
thought.

Here we go!!!!!!   OK Eric,  I've owned a 81 westy
gas, am 86 sycnro westy 16" diesel, and now my 91
syncro westy with carb.  I've driven many other vans
too and my Carbed 91 syncro has been to the Dead Sea
in Jordon (below sea leverl) over the Swiss Alps,
through the Egyptian desert and over the Alberta
Rockies.  NEVER missed a beat - other van problems,
but no carb problems.  I've had a Solex, and now a
Weber, (better) and it runs FINE.

OK, now Eric,  I'm sure that you know what you're
doing and talking about, AND it is just your good
fortune that I may be headed through Pittsburgh this
summer in July.  So if you invite my wife and me to
camp in your driveway, I'll LET! you drive my van
(Keeping in mind that it is a fully loaded syncro
westy) to see/feel the carb difference.  To take the
carb challenge    :-)

OK???????    Malcolm
