h'okay! Made some more tweaks to the warm-up enrichment, because apparently at some point after I got it cleaned up last time, I wrote an old version of the tune in there and made the ol' gal rather smokey again. In the process of doing that, discovered the main cause of my fuel pressure wibbles. Turns out, it helps if there's fuel in the tank!
