I appreciate your input! At least you are prepared to stick your neck out and have a guess!

I think my guys problem was basically that with both valves closed, there was not enough air leaking to identify where it was going. Again, I am guessing.

I have been told by wife I am not allowed to touch cossie this weekend, so when I get back, I will have a long chat with tuner, and see if he can think a little harder on what is causing this damn smoking.

Its enough to drive you to Japanese!
