Checking in for an update...

Over the past month I reset the valves while hot (some were pretty tight). That made a bit of a difference now that they are opening and closing properly.

I also ordered a set of .059 jets, two sizes up from the recommended. Just got through installing them and going for a test drive. Definitely a bit more responsive when shifting up. Top speed pulling a hill at 45, seems better.

I may take it to a cruse night tomorrow and see how it does on a short trip power wise. I should really throw a 2000lbs tractor on the back and see what happens...

The initial goal is to do a 85 mile round trip to a tractor show weekend of the 22nd and 23rd. Lots of hill climbs on that trip, could have a nice parade behind me!
