poppy, I did adjust the idle mix when I got the pipes, but I can see they need to be adjusted again now that I have installed a new jet and filter. I did get the allen set and they are definately nicer to use.
bill and rob, thanks for the warning about the exploding box. I will be carefull.
well off to adjust the idle mix. i will let you know how it goes. then i will order some TBS needles.
