Carburetor tech session, January 2007

After one of the club's breakfast meetings, we caravanned to 356 Works, where Tom Funk educated a dozen or so club members and guests on the fine points of carburetor tuning.  Visual aids included not only a Zenith-equipped engine on a stand, but charts and closed-circuit TV.

Ron Goldstein, Tom Funk, Frank Fleeger, Gordy Smith and Pat Yanahan check out the engine to be used for the demonstration.
