Re-jet
Just finished installing big sucker stage 1 and rejetted with a 46 slow. Already had the shortshots on. Redialed idle and mixture and it runs great, got rid of the decel pop completely. Only problem is it quit on me once at a light when I cracked the throttle and I do get a slight kinda hesitation when I crack the throttle from idle. Only when in neutral, under load don't seem to get the hesitation. Any thoughts?

RE: Re-jet
What color are your spark plugs since the rejet? They should be off white to a light tan. Anything darker than that is too rich. you may only need a 45 "Pilot" jet.

Haven't looked yet. Had to take AC back off, an o-ring fell off during install and I didn't see it. Found it on floor when I came back. Instead of changing back to the 45, I'm out about 2.5 turns on the mixture, can I go in about 1/2 turn?

That is just the Idle mixture adjustment screw. Has nothing to do with much of anything else. Not sure what you piad for the #46 jet but I know the local indy charges $3.10 forjets here.It's an easy and cheap enough switch.

RE: Re-jet
Yeah, that's what I paid for the 46 and I have the 45 that came out. I figured if leaning it a bit with the mixture would be a quicker fix. I'll ride it for about a half hour, check the plugs and go from there. Thanks guys.

RE: Re-jet
Went 1/8 in on the mixture and rode for about 40 minutes....no problems and the plugs look good.Maybe it just needed more running time and I rode it pretty hard.It's about 48 degrees and damp, let's see when it's 85 and humid.
