Herm Admit it - you were just scared to lay the old svannstupper out on that cold, cold workbench...... Bill PS - I almost bought a Uracco once - cute little motor, but it never struck me as the sort of specific bhp output I"d have expected from a design from scratch by Lamborghini in that period. Good, but not great, if you know what I mean. Was it the weaknesses you guys are talking about that prevented a really killer motor? My frigging Islero is being a pain - the amount of gas you need to start it in colder weather is about a half a pump off the amount of gas it takes to flood the plugs and thus render it unstartable until Spring. Surprise, surprise, I gave it that extra little fxxst*#frtt pump! So now I get to spend part of my weekend removing, cleaning, replacing, and if I administer one too many pumps again, cursing a lot. Or I"ll just let it wait for Spring......
