Just kept feeling it was too rich and decided to go back to the 42s... Guess what, found out I had a 45 in the right carb and a 42 in the left carb. Can't see the little numbers on the jets. No wonder I was having a hard time getting her dialed in.... Guess I need some "45" magnifiers Feel free to rip away at my expense.... Ride like a Combat Fighter Pilot
