Potato Potato 4 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
On July 4th when we were all staging for the parade a guy came up to me and asked how I got that great potato potato idle. I told him it's all in the jetting and a lot of hard work. It sure made me feel good and made all that hard work worth it. I've been told it sounds better than any Harley.

Re:Potato Potato 4 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
FB it is higher now I have tweaked the PMS more and it has a much better idle rhythm now. Guess I should make a new clip now. Thanks guys all the carb work was worth it. Just goes to show curing air leaks and getting the jetting right pays off and you can do it even if the dealer can't. The one thing you have on your side is the time to keep woring with it until it's right. They just want to do something right or wrong take your money and get you out the door till next time.
