Reply to "Are your screws loose?"

Funny story (not really) but I had a similar issue right after I bought the car. I didn't know that (with the Spyders at least) that the stacked carbs over manifolds can make the linkage loose.

After a run, about a mile from my house.... the car sputtered, rev'd high and then not at all, then puttered out. This was before I was carrying tools with me so when I saw that the stack was loose and the linkage wasn't working, I had to McGyver it together with one of my wife's hair rubber bands.

We got home with that and then I was able to tighten everything down. On my yearly checks, I absolutely make sure that it's tight.
