Dave, I agree, never said anything but here's a plug. The only way is to run it WFO,  cut the throttle and kill it , pull in clutch coast to a stop. Pull plug and read. Least, that's how I do it. Yes, I'll be back on the 27th, had too much fun and learned a lot.  Yes air/fuel was dead on from @6000-10,000 rpms. 13 to 1 roughly. And Dave, I'd like to see one of your plugs. No, Wilbur,  they come that way from ND. They're iridium. But  y'all keep the comments coming, it's how we all learn, thanks,  Bill

At our track up here, the first 1/2 of return road was downhill into a gully, used to pull the outside plug, check it, reinstall in time to bumpstart it and ride back up to the pits.. On slow days we could get over 20 runs in, got to play with all my Weber jetting, and try out 30mm and 32 mm chokes. The 32mm made the 836 harder to ride off the line.
 Bill, looking forward ro seeing you in the low 10,s or into the nines.

I've got a plastic 30gallon barrel you can have for the shower water. Remind me to bring it to Valdosta.
