HiI've got an Alfa Romeo Sprint that has a flat-four engine with dualtwin-choke Webbers. The car has been off the road for some time.I am not sure if the carbs are correctly balanced, due to me trying toadjust the idling speed, and not being entirely sure about what I was doing.If the carbs are out of balance, would I be doing the engine any harm byrunning it in this state? Also, I was wondering how accurate thoseColourtune plugs were. Are they worth getting?Thank youJason.

Colour tune are good, a very cheep way of getting accurate carb tuningresults. Ideally though for your set up you would want two but you can do itwith one and move it from side to side.Andy

Unbalanced Carbs can cause engine damage ??

Well I never.... an oil thermostat I can understand, but a water one would be pretty useless on an air cooled car..

Damn...
