Please don't apologize. It was just that I wanted to create some logical order in the discussion and our help for Adam. Sometimes I'm just a bit too quickly too much to the point. With 5000 air miles between us there will be some culturaI difference causing my reaction.
Back to the 912 engine. I agree with you that adjusting Webers and other multiple carbs on an engine in general, are a PITA. As I wrote before, sometimes you are a lucky winner and you are done within half an hour.
Basic setting, like Jaems described, is done in minutes and can give a good basic performance on a rebuild engine or an engine with not too many miles. But to really fine tune it, temperature, altitude, engine condition (1800 cc p/c, Adam's), ignition timing and many other parameters have to be considered with. For me, after 15 years experience with these engines - honestly, I realize I still have to learn a lot - even my ears are used to fine tune the engines. And each time I know it could have been done a bit better. I think it's part of the basic fun of these unique Porsche engines. Only driving it gives a bigger smile...
