That welded washer is cool! Haven't checked PAV, I think scotty was talking about this. I will. Don't think anything is hanging up. Have recently checked rubber intake thoroughly. I know that "micro cracks" in rubber, while not significant sources of vacuum leaks individually, taken as a whole can create quite the vacuum leak. This is why it's a good idea to replace every vacuum line on an older car before you tune it for the first time. Even if most lines seem good, there are probably enough "micro cracks" to add a significant vacuum loss. Back to bikes. Same thing. Yesterday, had to turn down the idle. Now it was Idling to fast. Fired her up this morning, not enough idle, turned it up 'til it wouldn't die and just a smidge more. When I turn down idle because it's high, it's not like I am turning down until it barely keeps running. When it's been racing I 've been turning it down to where it isn't dangerous in low gear anymore. Still running higher than optimum. I am probably imagining but it seems to coincide with the big temp. swings we have been having. That said fiddling with the idle? I could have worse problems. It otherwise is a pleasure.
