[QUOTE="krakum1967, post: 125899, member: 3691"] I did the air idle fastest rpm thing, and it is dialed in pretty nice. I have one more noticeable vacuum leak. And true to me, I caused it. Yea, got over excited I guess. I will start another thread, its repairable. But I am going to start a new thread, this one has been a good one, and you have no idea how happy I am to FINALLY have a running GL motor and chassis. The three gauge has been burned in my psychie since I was little, and this thing is FAST. I have a bog down at roughly 3500 rpm, but when you get the pump into it, it LIGHTS up. Yea, I looked up at 95 cause these things get a little dodgy at high speeds, but I know from winding out, I did the ton. So thank you Joe Drum, Dan, Brian, 83Wing, weightlifter, and several others like canuck, this is the best the bike has ever run. I can feel that the bike wants to live, and is waking up. She showed me that high saddled hauling a$$ truck on a light rail take off tonight. Have that flat spot to tune out, and this other issue to handle, and that will be that. Believe me, I have been every where else on the bike.
