I noticed in the OE one there's a hole in the top and side but in the new one the holes are in the ends. Is it possible there's an air bubble in the top of the unit that could be eliminated with a hole in the top?

The "Someday, like a miracle it will go away", Trump talked about in the beginning is coming true.

Be sure to reset the nozzles to 2 1/2 turns.

Those compression #s look low to me. I would expect #s in the high 160s. Did you hold the throttle wide open when you were turning it over?

Not if they're from a "fake news channel".

I've experienced a high (5000'+) altitude misfire with SUs. The misfire was consistent all across the RPM range. It was temporarily solved by raising the nozzles 1/2 turn.

While it's running and bucking erratically, ease the choke on and see if the symptom changes. If it improves, lower the nozzles in 1/2 turn increments until the choke no longer improves the performance. Hesitation, under a load is caused by lack of fuel.

Not if you keep everything including the nuts and bolts.

You may be able to get rid of the stutter by increasing the wt. of the oil. Thicker oil temporarily richens the mixture during acceleration. I always used ATF but Nissan recommended 20 wt. Do have the yellow springs under the suction chambers?

Do the carbs have 4 screws or 3 screws that fasten the suction chamber to the carb body? It's the 3 screw carbs that use 2 different float settings due to the difference in the float pivot heights.

Was it running the same before the refurbish? 9/16" float measurement? Nozzles 2 1/2 turns down? Any possibility of a vacuum leak?

They now THINK the duration of antibody effectiveness is only around 90 days. I hope and pray they're wrong.

Oh yeah, the curiosity is driving me nuts the same way as repairing something on a car and I can't figure out what caused the problem. The end result, either way, it's fixed and I have time to do some research now. The cost of the test is preventing me from finding out. One would think in a perfect world, our government would be offering tests to discover active cases and antibodies in those who believe they were infected and recovered, but NO, that would just increase the Covid-19 count.

That fix would drive me nuts until I figured out why.

I believe the scaffolding is another name for the towel racks which is another name for the over-riders on the bumper.

If it wasn't there before and they didn't tell you about it before, I'd ask them why they installed it. I'm betting it was for complete drainage at the time of cleaning and or coating. I'd leave it and paint it.

Lungs, brain, kidneys, are a few of the confirmed organs but they haven't discovered all the areas of the body this virus will attack yet. Another interesting area of research is the possibility that some blood types are more susceptible to Covid-19 than others. It has to do with the different antigens and antibodies in the various blood types. I'm O Positive which seems to have more immunity to C-19 than others. That said, I'm about 75% sure I had it in April. I'd had a lot of contact with the homeless in March, a few had been in the hospital with a pneumonia that had been going around throughout the winter. I woke up one morning to a lower backache that soon progressed to vicious muscle spasms. I thought OK, no big deal, I've been to this rodeo many times in the past. Normally it would take about a week to get back to some form of normality but into the second week the spasms were just as bad as week one. Then one morning I felt like I had been punched in the left kidney. My urine turned the color of diluted cola. (TMI?) That lasted about 2 days and went away. I didn't go to the Dr. because in April everyone was paranoid about going anywhere near a medical facility and the spasms were so bad I couldn't get into the car. I also had a minor nagging cough, 1/2 hour long spiking fevers, and general body aches. Long story short. the spasms and symptoms lasted almost 4 weeks. At the time I didn't really think I was sick enough to see a Dr. along with the philosophy of I'll either get over it or get used to it, if not I'll go see a Dr. The good news is, I got over it, I think. No more symptoms now other than my long term hip problem is worse, I feel like I got a royal as$ kicking and I'm not back to normal strength yet.

If and when Trump loses the election, everyone else will be blamed, even the GOP that supported him up so they could forward their own docket. Basically it boils down to, I'll let you do what you want to do if you let me do what I want to do but if I don't get my way, screw you.

My worst fear is a Uncivil War and Marshall Law to postpone an election would likely trigger it. It would dovetail into a Scorched Earth policy

Not only them. We need to take a serious look at ALL leaders in our society and see what drives them. Usually it's fame and fortune, with a percentage of Public Service thrown in for good looks. The signs of Narcissism are lack of empathy, superiority, need for recognition, arrogance, paranoia, entitlement, fantasies of love power & success, exploitation, and admiration. Sound familiar? Everyone has experienced some of these, to some degree, in their life. The ones at the higher end of the spectrum, the ones who crave power in their adult life, are the very ones that should not be running anything that feeds their ego's need for power over others. the more their ego is fed the more they resemble Jabba the hutt.

1968, I remember it as the year my naivete balloon popped. I was 19. Nam, multiple childhood friends coming home in caskets, the draft, RFK, MLK, Kent State, and the Chicago Democratic National Convention all changed my view about world leaders and what drives them.

I fear we're looking at the start of six months of a scorched earth policy driven by, If you won't let me play anymore, I'll fix it so no one can and it's all your fault.

These politically motivated, inadequately trained (developing story) federal troops are too similar to Hitler's Brown Shirts in the late 1930s. Mercenaries (bullies) hired by the Head Narcissist to carry out the HIS wishes. If the bully tactics are going to start somewhere, there's a part of me that's glad it's in Portland. We can handle it. On the other hand, we know it's going to get worse before it gets better but we don't know how bad it's going to get. The next six months are going to be beastly. ✌️

I do stay away from downtown these days because of Covid-19 and some physical limitations that prevent me from walking long distances otherwise I'd be there. Free speech is alive and well in Portland. If it gets a bit rowdy at times, it's because free speech and, at times, civil unrest are needed for change.

"For some reason" isn't good enough for me. I'd want to know what specifically went wrong. Was the oil flow satisfactory when the cam was installed? I doubt it. The external oiler system works quite well if the tubes have not come loose from the mounting blocks or the oil holes haven't become restricted due to build-up of ? Tubes can be resoldered and the holes cleaned with a torch tip files.
