    Thanks, I will for sure do that as it does not take much time at all, and it would at least make me feel that I had done something to add power

Use a small grinding stone in either a dremel, drill, or best of all a die-grinder

      If you need any moral support, I do work in West San Jose....

        Thanks Ray, I do need it at times

        We should go for a ride some day. I don't get out much now that I have a one-year old. The only thing is i can only ride during the week.

          My work # is 879-4542. I'll be "out of the office" next week, as you can see from my thread in the other forum. I ride with E.Liberty on Sunday afternoons, when it's nice. We can get together one weekend. I can also help a little if you need it on the bike, as I have the mercury sticks for the carbs, among other tools.
