Hey John Whitling....
   Maybe you'd have some time at the Tour to look at Mike's car and make some
recommendations?  Gee, did I just "volunteer" you to help? (Mike bought the car
from Lynn Ritchie).

Mike: You probably will want to find out what jets you're using now so those
with Rotax/Mikuni experience will have a reference point. Let me know what the
jet sizes are too....I'll relay the info to Doug Marsh for his input.
Glad you got in!  Still have about 5 other FMod's on the waiting list....

-Jeff
