    I saw you picture. Its simple to click a link.

    They look pretty clean. How far did you drive those?
    You should crank open the mix screw a little before the next run.
    1/4 turn is what I would do.

    I agree, It certainly is simple to click a link, when there's a link visible to click. When I posted my reply there was no link underneath to click on. if you look at the bottom of the post Bill, you will see that it was added after I made the comment.

    Thats hw lean it looked after a 500kms ride (320miles) riding back from the PO place. I turn close to 1/4 turn on those plugs. It does need a Carb tune & Colour tune.

    The link does take you to "picasa" but not direct to the plug pics. Click "photos" under his tag on the right. Then enter the "maxim X" album, they're at the bottom.

    I don't think you need a "Quarter-turn"

    I think you need about 20-Cents worth of Richness.

    The thickness of 2-Dimes.

    Make a Tweak Screwdriver.
    Get a "Pocket-clip" Small Craftsman Screwdriver.
    Hacksaw 3/4 of the Plastic Handle right off. Part of the Shank goes.
    Cut the Metal Shank below the Handle off ... leaving 1-1/2 Inches.

    Chuck the Shank in your Drill.
    High-speed spin the Handle.
    Sand it rounded and smooth.

    Grind the Tip to PRECISELY FIT the Slot on a Pilot Mixture Screw.

    Hacksaw a groove down the SIDE of the Handle Nub.
    Fill it with White Paint.

    When the Pain dries you're left with a "TWEAKER"
    The Painted groove will give you a "Visual"

    You can Tweak the Pilot Screws without taking-off the Tank.

    Could I get some input om my plugs as well. I have been looking at them each week and thought they were lean so continued to turn them CCW to get more color. I did have "backfiring" on deceleration which is now gone. I have yet to order a colortune plug :cry:
    Thanks for your input. :D
