> I believe oil smile or "I believe oil smile with every time a new stop light gets put up....."

Ok, it's a game. People are writing in code now. I am so literal .. what 'oil smile' might be just escapes me. I could see 'oil smell' . is that what was meant ?

I just had to ask a well-educated very smart poster what 'idle plug position' means. It sure did not actually mean 'idle plug' .. as there is no 'idle plug' on a waterboxer vanagon . There does happen to be an Idle Mixture Screw anti-tamper plug for sure. Lame be me for not making that connection from 'idle plug position.'

Another major poster called the same, if I followed things right, screw, an air bypass screw. I believe it is identified as a mixture screw in the book. Let's call brake drums tires !

but hey ....whatever !! Not expecting everything to make sense much at all these days. I do invite half well-written posts and comments that make actually sensible, and clever ..yeah , clever is great.........posts. I love a good twist on words... still thinking about 'oil smile' though. Just messin' with people ..that's gotta be it. Yeah..ok, I feel much better now. LOL !!! have a great father's day all !

thanx, sdf
