Running a 150 main, 8 baffles on the Trapp, approx. 300 ' above sea level.
I have changed the volume of the airbox between the filter & carb by about 500 cc, removed the ( oh man can't think of its name) rubber & opened the airbox entrance with a rotary bit, just a few square centimeters. Removed the foam rubber, not the hard rubber blocksfrom under the seat to get more flow under there. Stock ppilot, opened the idle mix screw in traffic the other day, wasn't counting, was at a light & had to go! But, it did knock a backfire out of it.
Throttle abuse! I know it. I run roads out here that are long enough to see 75 & 80 MPH regularly & hardly ever see 35 & 40. Not in town long, just get what I need & head back out thru the roads I like.
I discovered a bolt about worn half across the face today. The rearmost bolt on the front heat shield, by the right peg. fromn top to bottom, about 1/2 is worn off.I had no idea I was cornering that hard. Maybe I hit something, I dunno, but it's not bent, just worn. Pegs are a mess on the ends. Today, after I filled up, I decided I would ride sanely a while & check the mileage. Pulled the baffles tonite, slight soot. Black soot. Soft fluffy, but thin, very thin, layer inside the cap. I am thinking stick the 55 pilot in it & add a couple baffles & see what it does.
