If not I could pick it up a couple of hundred rpm's and that would go a long way toward smoothing it out.
I haven't ever had a 3 cyl before, so I have nothing to compare it to except 4,6 & 8's.
I have to take it out for a short drive in a little while, and I'll ty to note whether or not it feels rough under acceleration or at speed. Thanks again, and I'll put some cars in the "garage."
