Any thoughts?
It's been colder in the Windy City. You're probably idling it a little longer in the garage before you pull it out, and then again when you drive it back in, and don't even know it. Now, if you say the exhaust, while idling in the garage, is stinging your eyes, and it never used to do that before, then it's time to adjust the carb. Of course, it's probably not good to just sit there in the garage while your Cobra is idling and you just breathe the exhaust in. Hmmmm, maybe that's my problem....
