Day 3:  I believe this is the longest-running dream I have ever had.
Yet, I am black and blue from pinching myself.  I have put a little over
100 miles on my '87 Westy since replacing the AFM and it's still running
like an over-weight, under-powered bat out of hell!  What's more
surprising is that my gas gauge says my tank is half full!  Before
swapping out the AFM, I would normally be running close to empty and
refilling the gas tank at about a hundred miles.  Is it possible I've
cured my engine's low-power problems?  I can only hope . . .
