  • How do you guys DO it!

    Today, after my Mineralogy test, I took Roketto on a nice ride. I decided to check the plug color after my recent work. I went out to the best place I could find (a decent grade; about a 1.5 miles) and gave it a shot.

    I have no clue how you guys are able to check WOT. It lasts me about 5 seconds and then I am up to (IMO) dangerously high speeds. The road is not dead straight, so I have to slow down

    After freeing up my froze idle jet, setting them all 3.5 out, and doing a rough visual sync, I have noticed a definate improvement at the low end. It doesn't start really pulling until about 1/2 throttle.

    If you think it's pulling strong now, wait till you get a proper sync and the pilots correctly adjusted!

      Just wait until they get a real sync.

      Bread ties and such don't work.

      My sync. gages from K+L retail for about $300.00. They are neat being in an aluminum case but my Motion Pro mercury sticks will give you excellent results at a fraction of the cost. The amount a sync. screw is turned is so minute that a naked eye or bread wrapper isn't even in the same ballpark.

        I've found that just putting the screwdriver on the adjusting screw(s) changes the settings. I set them to where I want them to be after the screwdriver is removed. Very sensitive.

          High speed is relative to how long you have owned your 11
          When a 10 isn't enough, get a 11. 80g Hardbagger

            Hmmm... I got my set of carb sync gauges with rigging and stuff for 46 euro or something like that... (US 50-60$). Works great.

            They do send outside EU. Dunno bout shipping/customs costs. A bit high IMHO.
