    What’s Your Favorite Degreaser?

    Best degreaser, hands down, is L.A.'s Totally Awesome. And it's dirt cheap. You can usually find it at places like Family Dollar.

    Check that all of your jets are in the correct locations. The ones under the chrome covers, if they're swapped, it'll only run at high RPM'S.
