What do you mean sluggish? Is it better when hot or cold?

If you blip the throttle a little do the rpms drop or do the rpms rise and hang a bit?

I noticed on mine that if I turn too much at once it doesn't change.....just a thought.   Logged     Podar Azle, TX   The administrator has disabled public write access. #85916 DocShadow (Admin) Hmmmm .... send beer Admin Posts: 11027 Re:1st Gear Sluggish 7 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Polar is correct about the PMS ... you have to turn it very slowly ..... even stopping a bit to let things 'settle in'. Check that the float level is correct ... it may be necessary to raise if a couple of mm. Or turn the PMS out 1/2 turn.
