Thanks! I've got a long way to go but it's starting to show some character.

I'll have the carb off a couple more times in the coming weeks as I tune it. I hooked up a vacuum port extension last night and made a baseline adjustment to the pilot screw. 4 1/8 turns out (!) just based on vacuum. Holy rich sauce, Batman! Pilot jet is going down at least two sizes.

Can't wait to get my portable wideband so the real fun can begin!

Took advantage of the long weekend and finished grinding and painting the seat perch and trim.

I'm second guessing the texture black. I was trying to embrace the added trim rather than trying to hide it. I dunno. I'll let it be for a couple weeks and see if it grows on me.

Doesn't look bad at all. Gloss would make it "disappear" though if thats what you want to do?

I might just hit the texture with some satin black. I like the texture but I the the color is just off. Too grey.
