Not Excellent.

I'm thinking of doing a night school or home tutoring course in Excel. It seems most everyone I know understands what its for and uses it for all sorts of things, I'd like to know what all the fuss is about. Its that thing with all the boxes eh?

I know, its something I'm supposed to have learned as a baby, like my multiplication tables. Then again, I bet you dont know how an SU carburettor works.

I know you're not talking to me!

An SU is a gorgeous piece of fluid dynamics engineering. Full carburation, including acceleration enrichment and cold-start enrichment, from 3 moving parts and 1 jet.
I'm constantly surprised by the number of mechanics who *know* how it works but dont *understand* how it works. Of course I'm the same with all those multiple-jet Webers, I know the fundamentals but never bothered to figure out precisely what does what. I think it was the need for a separate accelerator pump that turned me off...

Ok, ok, I give!!!

I'm inspired to write a description of how it works...
