"Sales Engineers" are generally ready to tell people what they want to hear... ;) , and they're often not real engineers...

    Poor idling and starting

    The flat slide tooters on my runner XS suffered intermittent no-idle and sometimes not much go on left side jug. Careful exam revealed that a sharp edge of a brass fitting had sliced off a fragment of the fuel hose lining, capturing this as in effect a valve...sometimes. Vexatious tooters those...

    I looked it up. Fester is a heroin dealer in the film, they say. The chick is Phillipa Fallon. A real piece of work, and evidently a bit eccentric...
