Hey Dennis, how about you PM me the phone # and a contact name of the shop, and I'll call them and see if they can email the graph directly to me.

Saw a post on FB where he indicated it is not running at peak and is going to take some tuning... It didn't sound clean starting off...

Nothing good to report :(

Shifting problems to catch 4th & 5th gears.............not enough power to pull record-breaking speed in 5th..........will attempt 4th-gear passes in the AM...........spent most of today repairing rocker threads from a loose adjuster. The motor runs sweet but does not have the top-end power I was hoping for............plug color and megaphone color look good from tan to medium gray...........Rider's meeting at 7-AM ;)

Rich Magee set 3 new records with his CB550 8) 8) 8)

Quite a few newbies and some very "lost' spectators driving where they are not allowed.

Jerry Griffin helped the team from Florida with a CB750 sidecar rig tear their motor apart for impound inspection after they qualified for a record.

Bill Wolf has a well built CB750 running the modified 1000 class.........no reports of any records on a low-hanging target.

Dennis, the 120's were extremely lean when you had the bike here. PLEASE install the 127.5 main jets!!!!

Also, set the ignition timing back to 30* total advance, or static halfway between the T and F marks.

This is your bike with 120 main jets. It's too lean for pump gas, much less the oxygenated fuel you are running. The peak HP was only 63.32.

Ditto Scottly :o
If your running the oxy rich fuel on 120 mains ya gunna be running seriusly lean ...... with 750 displacement the AF get really sensitive and needs to be spot on or slightly rich. On my 750 on first dyno I stuffed up the jetting and it was between 14 and 15 to 1, flames popping out the exhaust,
Lost heap of HP with a new fresh build and it only pulled 67HP, big downer from the 80 I was hoping for  ;D changed jets etc 2 runs and peaked at 79HP.......and that was on Sunaco avgas not the groovy stuff.......which would make a bigger difference etc.      So Den, that's 2 votes for #$%* load more fuel. The old saying is better too much than not enough when your playing with oxy stuff.
Are you running titanium adjusting nuts ?   I had big dramas with them and now back with stock.
Hope the weather holds Den and for an old fart like you its just another day in the office.👍🏁
cheers Johno
