new year's day in southern california?

Mike, I guess my Motorcycle shop here in Asheville are pretty good with the prices. They arent a dealership they just repair and sell Bike stuff. I felt compelled to write down my Carb solution because I went thru the archives and couldnt find a really simple and cheap carb fix. No airbox mods, no pipe, just one size up on the main jet,washer under needle, and three turns out. The difference was so remarkable I cant help but wonder how it compares to a stage one Dyno set up.

The std size jet was a 148 and I went to a 150. Also I screwed in the pilot air screw all the way in (carefully) and then backed it out till I got the highest RPM's which came to three turns. Starts with little or no choke. When it gets a little warmer I'll check the gas milage.

What effect, if any, has this had on mpg? This sounds really interesting. Ralph -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ralph E.

Take Oak Avenue (parallel to Lincoln, 1/2 mile to the west) south to West Chase (south of Ontario Ave). Right on Chase. First left is Skyline, I think. This road turns into Main Divide. There is a gate that I have seen locked only once. It was open this past weekend. I live at the bottom of Bedford Motorway, 10 miles south of this entrance, and that entrance is always open.

1-2 inches in the shadows around Santiago Peak. The temperature was 20 in the shade up there, 60 at my house. Jim Corona, CA
