Are you telling me you got the jetting right on the first try?

Well, ya got me Might have. It wasn't from any skill If I did . It starts cold on the first choke click now. It runs good. No back fires. No popping on decel. Definetly gets fast quicker now. The sound of the air sucking into the BAK kinda bugs me but I'll get used to that. I'll have to run a couple tanks through it and see what the mileage is and if it keeps running this way.

There might be some truth to - It's better to be lucky than good.

Did the jetting today. 170, clip in 4th with stock configuration. PMS at 1 7/8. Ported the manifold. Lapped it and put in larger O rings while I was at it. Much more gooder now!

pday, I tried your idea of working in a clear palstic bag and dang near suffocated. Good thing help was near. You might want to not recommend that to people anymore.


And of course. And as always. Murphy was standing by waiting to crap all over my parade. Nice shiney face plate fell down 3 cement stairs.


What Elevation are you at Musky??

Don't get it!! The bike starts way too easy. It runs way too good. It improved the way the bike pulls way too much. I accelerate way too quickly now. For sure I'm enjoying the bike way too much now. All in all I would never recommend anyone does this.

How'd I do? <br><br>Post edited by: Musky, at: 2006/09/08 08:09

Don't know. Can't see the ocean. It's a long ways from here Dave.

Don't know right to the foot but the average for MN is 1200 ft.

So what happened to Vegas? I was already for him to cast disperssions on my jet settings and he just disappeared. Geeze! It's like waiting for the ax to fall

If ya think I could do something better holler out.
