She spins up quick, without hesitation. :woohoo: The Dyna 2000 limiter is set at 10,500 :ohmy:
The jets are 42.5 pilot and 130 now, with the "competition" baffle. :S
The motor is completely stock (with air box) . It purrs at idle, and otherwise roars. :evil:

Should I try larger jets? :unsure:

It might spin to 10,000 rpms,but if it quits making power at 7500 whats the sense of beating it that hard? :lol:
It also plays hell on the rod and main bearings at that speed. ;)

At idle, do you smell any fuel in exhaust......rich?

You're probably right...but she begs for it, and doesn't seem to mind it too much. It's not like I beat it constantly...just once in awhile, and with extra-care. :laugh:

Great questions! I've examined the plugs, and the electrodes appear medium-light brown. The only smell (at idle) is from the crankcase ventilating through a K&N breather; no-longer feeding into the engine through the air box.

I'll pic the spark plugs later today.

Thanks+

She's there...I think.

It runs pretty good for using a low-tech Motion Pro Carb tool, and Gunson Colortune for the mix. It has never ran better (since I've owned it).
I'm done...just wanna ride! :woohoo:
