> I believe oil smile
or "I believe oil smile with every time a new stop light gets put up....."

Ok, it's a game.
People are writing in code now.
I am so literal ..
what 'oil smile'  might be  just escapes me.
I could see 'oil smell' .
is that what was meant ?

I just had to ask a well-educated very smart poster what  'idle plug
position' means.
It sure did not actually mean 'idle plug' ..
as there is no 'idle plug' on a  waterboxer vanagon .
There does happen to be an Idle Mixture Screw anti-tamper plug for sure.
Lame be me for not making that connection from 'idle plug position.'

Another major poster called the same, if I followed things right, screw,
an air bypass screw.  I believe it is identified as a mixture screw in
the book.  Let's call brake drums tires !

but hey ....whatever !!
Not expecting everything to make sense much at all these days.
I do invite half well-written posts and comments that make actually
sensible, and clever ..yeah , clever is great.........posts.
I love a good twist on words...
still thinking about 'oil smile' though.
Just messin' with people ..that's gotta be it. Yeah..ok, I feel much
better now.
LOL !!!
have a great father's day all !

thanx,
