16v A/F Mixture settings??

[flaatr@yahoo.com (Euroroc II)]

Have you checked your timing recently? I had a crappy running 16V about a 
year ago (before dumping in lot$ of ca$h into the motor) and found, among 
other things a broken key on the cam sprocket which allowed the valve 
timing to go out of wack. 8V have a separate woodruff key whereas 16V's 
have an integrated key... Found a replacement sprocket and re-timed the 
motor and that problem went away.
