  1. Insulation may be a problem. Even if you foamfilled the panels, the metal ribs that hold the inside and outside panels together will be a conduit for the heat being bled outside.

  2. So I was 215lbs. Planned to loose some weight, didn't do so hot and got up a couple pounds. Then now I have a bad tooth and don't like to eat...wow, that has helped, brought me down to 210. So realizing that I'm still eating, just not eating too much I am using a program on my phone called "Lose it". If anyone else is using it, PM me and we can link up on it and motivate each other (READ: tease).

    Doing this, it gives me a goal, I put in my weight and what I'm eating each day. Has database of most fast food and normal food. It's working great, I've been under the caloric intake for me for the last week. If you exercise AT ALL you put it in, and it then removes that from your daily calories so you can eat more if you want (or loose weight faster I suppose to a point). Anyway, I'm not itching for treats and I get my muffin or 3 subway chocolate chip cookies or donut or whatever for a treat without issue. If I want more, I'll just get my ass out for a walk and I can have it.

    So I'm down to 206.4 this AM. Loosing about 1.5 lbs a week without issue. Now I just need to see about getting rid of the chubby tummy I've got if I don't suck it in.

  3. If I remember correctly, do the 2 1/2 turns. Then attach the vacuum line of each gauge to the respective inlet on the carb (see manual). It's a nipple that should be near the black large tube that is connecting to the engine from the carb. Then adjust the adjuster screw (see manual) until the line on the gauge reads a relative number to the rest. IE, if 3 are just about in sync, adjust one up or down to line up and do so on the next one that is out a bit until they all line up.

    Short answer.

  4. If you don't have a set of vacuum gauges (merc or otherwise), you could start with one screw and turn it down or up until things are smooth, then move on to the next and do the same until it's worse or smoother, and repeat until the end. Theoretically you should have just synced them. Much like tuning a stringed instrument based on previous adjustment.
