    Has everything to do with confidence, and well, how you can do your speeds on those tombstones is beyond me :-p There is confidence, and then there is that feeling I get from bridgestones which is the exact opposite...

    Setup, setup,setup and a little bit of insanity.


    well thankfully I'll be able to use all that contingency $ for the largest stone possible later on.

    That pitbike needs a carb tune. I just got a dinky little ultrasonic cleaner from Harbor Freight to clean my carbs, you're welcome to use it Sav.

    It shouldn't need one yet. It was spot on when I handed it over... what's the current symptoms? (Besides Sav and the rest needing to learn how to start a high comp single? )

    Cool, you're getting better then!

    I don't like hearing that the motor has changed behavior that much already though, unless you've been seriously ragging the everloving bejesus out of it, or you've loaded it up with vintage 1936 skunk piss for gas it should still be pulling clean across the board. I'll try to remember to bring my jet box and feeler gauges with me to Round 5 if I can make it to see if we can't sort out what's going on. For giggles, loosely cover 3/4 of the airfilter with ducttape and see what happens.

    Sounds good! It's been having 93 shell or track gas.
    It's only been ridden at the track and nowhere else.

    Those symptoms popped up pretty much right away but I didn't bother. Maybe you take it for a spin you can tell what it's all about?

    I'll see what I can do to help sort it out then, was rather pleased with how quickly that carb dialed in but seems I may have underestimated break in changes.

    Is it just partial throttle, and it cleans up if you go full throttle, or RPM range specific at any throttle?

    As the rpms climb and you give it more throttle it cleans up

    Ok, might just be a needle position tweak then.
