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.

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.
