and what happens when you use the 1.5, why do you want to go to a 2.5 or 3.0?
I'm interested because I've been playing about with carbs lately

as slide go up in size 1 1.5 2 2.5 3
the higher the no the leaner it is
the motor is a little rich on the initial turn of the twist grip.
opened up it flys.thought the clutch was slipping in yesterdays little test.pulled it apart it fine.looked at my test track 2 trenches 1 each way.what i thought was clutch slp was wheel spin
cheers
