I was reading a thread on carb tuning that John Connolly of aircooled.net was on and he suggests a much leaner idle/cruise AFR than what I've been running. I've set a target of 12.5-13.5 in that range, but he suggests you can go much leaner than that.
This may also explain why Jake thought I was nuts when I went from a 60, to a 62, and then finally a 65 idle jet on my 40 Dellorto's. Does anyone have any real world insight on this? I've loaded in my 60's for a ride tomorrow... -Aaron |
