Nice to know Molly in on her feet and running around .. jejejeje

She just needs some more stretching and the 'laziness' might go away ... It happened to Gina after the accident when she was on stands for almost a year ...

Possible, since I put new needle jets, they may need to seat in.  Things did improve the longer I rode.  I'll put a few miles on the new needle jets before I start changing things again.  The harder I rode, the better the response was, but then again, I was really twisting the throttle and was well away from the pilot circuit  ;D

95% humidity is NOT ideal riding conditions.

aren't the conditions you describe the same as if you were sitting on the bottom of a lake?

almost, not quite ... few hours ago, could have been ... running water on streets ws covering at least 4~6" of wheels ... toes were dragging on the water ...

maybe too large needles for lower revs ... or maybe, maybe, they're inversely installed? ..

right now is 95% ... as my prev post ... water on the streets on parts was 4~6" high ... water was seeping thru my visor as if I didn't have one ..

Everything is 100% stock in the carb, so it's either a wearing in thing or I'm too rich at the transition from the pilot to the needle circuit.  There is a washer under each needle, (Not sure if OEM or the previous owner put them there) that could could out to lean up that transition ~

Yes, for now.  We have a house full of visiting family, both hers and mine.  Having fun now but sooner or later someone has to cross the line.  They always do  \ [bang]

I/we have familys that are habitual line crossers. 

Off to feed the crowd.  Have fun today folks.

It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.
