Having a damn fine time with a kit!

Post by jbcollier »

Installed the M1 kit earlier this year but have been too busy to ride until now. Had to install a smaller idle jet but, other than that, it runs very sweet now. If you remember, I seized my last kit with a little too enthusiastic reving early in its brief life. This time I have a way too large main in so that it just chokes out if pull more than 3/4 throttle. Live an learn. I have to run two or three tank fulls of 4% and then to its steady diet of 3% and final jetting.

So far it has lots of power. I was on Emily Murphy Hill, gaining speed at part throttle in the mid range!! Pulls 80 kph without you even noticing it!!

Oh boy.

Good to hear John, glad to hear that thus far all is well. I on the other hand am in search for a north american source for the MecEur Crankshaft that I was waiting for from England. The supplier and I both agreed that something has gone terribly wrong with the shipping of the package. He is unable to trace it's where abouts. At least I was credited the full amount! there is something to be said about buying insurance on big ticket items that ship from over seas.........now that I have been refuned I full expect to see the package delivered next week sometime! :roll:

Cheers

My record is three months for a parcel from England shipped by air. I think they must have taken a wrong turn in Albuquerque. It came eventually though.
