  • Left it home. I think I need to adjust the clutch. Runs great, but dies when I put it in gear. Can't remember adjusting a clutch. Could get interesting. My son hasn't worked on anything hardly, but I am going to make him wrench while I hold the light if I find manual.

          • Walked by it thinking " I would rather be out riding" instead of gearing up for the wood cutting party I was about to have.

              • Walked out thru the garage... ran my hand over windscreen, down the tank, across the
                seat... patted it and whispered.. "soon my zombie love... very soon".

                And then went to work grumbling as its Friday and 35 deg out.

                      • Had a few days playing with my O2 sensor, timing, carbs ...

                        After gouging out the timing rotor further, I gave myself a range up to 7* advance. Trial and error suggested it preferred 4*, so that's where it is.

                        Final carb settings have me running beautifully at idle and highway cruise - 100 - 110 kph (14.4:1 - 14.9:1), slightly rich at light throttle - eg cruise at 60kph (13.6:1 - 13.8:1) and just slightly lean above 6000rpm (around 14.7:1 - 15.2:1). Dropping the right wrist sees it return to about 13:1 at 1/4 to full throttle - gradually leaning off as rpm increase. Pretty happy overall, but don't seem to be able to lean off the mix any further at very light throttle (about 1/8 throttle). It's not bog down and foul plug rich - it's just not quite at the sweet spot. No flat spots at all, and really strong and smooth in the low to mid range - where it lives.

                        Then since it was due and has spent a while running on the stand while I fiddled, I shouted it some nice new oil.

                            • My left index finger got caught in a machine at work and now it looks like two fingers, so I won't be riding for a while.

                              When in doubt, lean more.
