    Nearly lost the car tonight.

    I am unhappy with my throttle response, so I decided to reset it this evening. After the first test run, more tweaking was needed but the engine was too hot to rest my hand on to support myself, so I put an old rag on the rocker cover and set it some more. Then I did another road test. I smelt...
