Float feed. The Phantom float feed is rather troublesome. It gives very erratic readings on our dynamometer flow-meter. It cannot compare for smooth_ness of flow, with the Silver Ghost(1907 40/50 historic RAC 15,000 miles trial). Could you send me a short note on "tips" for getting this to work nicely?
