So, contiuing from the gas mileage thread:
First: Thanks go out to Lancer for selling me jets.
Today, was off (have to use up vacation days or lose them).
Took out the factory 145 jet (2001). (had to take battery housing off, means seat too). Put in the 150. Then, what's that noise,......thunder.....turn on radio and hear severe T-Storm warning and tornado warning for neighboring county 20 miles away. Tornado's in PA.......Da_mn.....
Well, start bike & play with air screw, was 1 1/2 turn to lean roughness, 1 turn to rich roughness. Could explain the carbon on sides of spark plug ceramic. Turn down 1/2 turn. Turn off bike, go eat lunch. Come out and start bike, hey need one click of choke, might be a sign that was too rich before (carbon on spark plug).
Sun is out and roads dry. Roll out of garage and see dark clouds coming. Quick trip around the big block (about 1 1/2 miles). Runs a bit better.
Home again, come in to check forun, see Lancers suggestion to put in the 155 first, D-amn, off comes seat & battery housing. 155 in, ten minutes, wow, getting better at this. Roll out of garage, more dark clouds, but will try. Get 1/4 mile and it starts raining, but.....no bogging down, ...hmmm. Get home and here I am waiting for the roads to dry again. Want to get to the highway for some 55 MPH driving.
Lancer, again, thanks for the help......
