Well, maybe in another lifetime...but seriously, what specifically could happen if you swapped them? Would you get wheelie mad?

:woohoo:

From what I understand they will richen off idle on through 1/8 allowing for smaller pilots. Jims 73 Z1 belched black smoke on takeoff because of over rich jets where Larry and mine burned clean all the way through. I could do wheelies now but do my best to keep it on the ground. :lol:

So, less fuel and easy wheelies! Nice.

Plugs are looking good but could be better.

Looks like it was losing mercury and sucking air. The more air it sucked, small amounts of mercury went with it until it stopped working altogether. Going to try some ATF in it. :angry:
