Default 400 carbs heating

Geoff,
I get about 22 to 25 on a run doing 60mph but then I am a little heavy
footed. The car runs well and is very smooth. I use 87 to 90 octane, never
higher.
No I don't have access to a gas analyzer, but going by plug colour I am ok.
Well as I said.... after sitting the carbs are so hot I can't touch them for
more than a few seconds. That would certainly boil off the fuel. Leaving one
side panel up on the bonnett solves the problem.
Cheers
Dorien
