RE: Weird things found in P.O. Alfas

["Heikki Rinta-Koski" <hrk951@xxxxxxx>]

Ok here's mine

After dealing with minor issues I took my newly acquired running alfa for 
spin to show my neighbor how it runs.
Several minutes later accelerating from intersection gas pedal would not 
come up fully, it felt like it was halfway open. Naturally it was dark and I 
turned off the engine and coasted under some streetlight which are not too 
common in States. No visible cause in linkage and after quite entertaining 
and fast drive through neighborhood going through gears 1,2,3 and every time 
when speed comes too great turning off the engine and coasting back to more 
reasonable speed, I found a 7/16 concrete drill in one of the chokes in 
Weber keeping butterflies open. Luckily it did not go further!

Somone might have been sloppy when adjusting these carbs...
