hi

thanx but i've replaced the cpr with a NOS, and car does the same 
with old and new one.

i thought maybe someone had tinkered and made it too lean. How long 
does the hex have to be?

i will probably sell the new one when i get her straight and raise 
some cash for the door seals!.

Regards

Steve
