[QUOTE="joedrum, post: 159590, member: 98"] i never have checked plugs yet ...but i did reduce idle jet in primary barrel on the weber ...this seems to be the last great move so far .....it diffinitly made idle smoother ..tho it was smooth already ...it seems it was the last spot that was on the rich side some.......went for small ride test ....seemed to be just a tad smoother down low and could idle slower on the move ...stop at several stops where idle was less than 1000 and hung in there nice ....with how im set up ...i adjusted the idle on the fly and it really responed to the tweaking well ....i really like this set up as it sets up the idle and gas and air mix for everything just off idle ...the bike dose this work better than any motor i have ever had ...no getting going to it ...just gone before you started is more like it ....im always trying to catch up from my own move with hooch bike .....ive got testing to do but id say i just left the 98% range of dial in to an even higher level ....this is a hard area to improve as there only 2 spots left uphill...and many moves downhill one could make i had no way to sodder up jet and drill out ...i have no bits here.....so the idle jet has one wire strand going through a .045 weber idle jet.....and the way i did it it is locked in and cant come loose inside carb ...it is actually held in place by the idle jet holder ....where ever your at ..you make do with what have ...and never get stoped ..is my way ....glad i did it ...ill post more after a good long ride test soon to happen :builder: :thanks: [/QUOTE]
