RMKConfusion....I've got a little miss in the 6-8,000 rpm range from time to time. Nothing big as of now. I have only fouled one set of plugs, just after the breakin oil tank was used up. I've been running premium fuel, there are some posts that say the sled works great on regular, might give that a try. It did quit while I was going 1/2-3/4 throttle accross a swamp, finally restarted after we held the throttle open 1/4 and pulled on it. The dealer said my throttle cable had streached, and adjusted it, said that the TPS had kicked in...! My gas rack came out great. Just used two short pieces of 2 inch aluminum angle mounted in between the seat and the plastic tunnel cover along each side with holes drilled for tie downs pop riveted in place. Found a white 2 gallon gas can to fit, made by Mercury, which the tail-light lights up at night so I didn't have to move my tail light. Took her back in cause it was eating too much oil and the dealer adjusted it so now it eats about one quart per 10 gallons of fuel, 40:1 which is good. Still think she is geared a little too tall, but runs well so am keeping at stock gearing for now, maybe change to 22/40 (1.82) next year. The new reflash should help us all, am looking forward to it. Thanks for the post.
