got my tuning kit

it has assorted jets and metering rods.
my carburetor is stock out of the box and runs richer than bill gates.
so i went ahead and went 8% leaner. i'll see how that goes for awhile
and then jump to 12% if need be. how much is 12% ?

yep, just as i expected. my exhaust is no longer producing black smoke and my spark plugs are nice and clean. also when i am at half throttle now it cruises real smooth. and when i really put my foot into it i feel the secondaries kick in and push me back in my seat
