I've been troubleshooting the bike for the last few days and I think I located the main source of my running issue. I had a loose connection at the solid state relay leading to the main fuse box so I tightened up the connection. I also pulled the carbs and rejetted the pilot's and the mains to larger sizes. I decided to leave the needles in the middle position for now. I started it up and she runs 100% better. I took it to the track today along with my VW dragster. It was an all VW race so I was hoping to make a pass or two between rounds with the car. Ironically I won round, after round with the car and never had time to put the bike on the track. In fact I took the car into the final round, but a staging error caused some hesitation when my light came down and it resulted in a crappy reaction time. I wasn't able to catch my opponent down track so it took runner up. It was all good since we agreed to split the purse beforehand. I was pleased with the car's performance all day. I did ride the bike around the return road. It seemed very responsive and lite the rear tire up with ease and no signs of breaking up. It's my opinion that this bike will be at least a tenth quicker than the F3 but that remains to be proven. The weather is still okay for testing down this way. Hopefully I can catch a test and tune day somewhere and make a few A to B passes to see how it runs on the dragstrip.
