Regarding high octane gas, remember to resist the temptation to use aviation
gas...it's formulated for 3000 rpms @5-10000 feet. Not good at all for a
bike. If regular ol' 92-93 octane isn't enough, add a 1/2 tank of 105-110
octane automotive racing gas. Also if 92-93 isn't enough, there maybe
underlying problems besides the gas (timing specificly).
Store bought octane boosters do not work at all...it amazes me that people
can legally sell this crap.

[no-mo' pingin'!] mine runs fine with the timing set to factory spec. even ran good @ the static mark, just less power [right, ian?] when you turn in the small screw [on the side of the carb], 1/4 turn @ a time, the idle will slow down. back it out 1/4 turn @ a time 'till it picks back up. that's where ya want it to be. if you DO mess w/ the dist., you can tell if you're retarding the spark, 'cause the idle will drop off, but it ain't a good idea to do that- retarded too far is as bad as advanced too far, for different reasons. cheers! andy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Hawkes" <haw-@frontiernet.net> To: <Loopfram-@topica.com> Sent: Thursday, July 12, 2001 10:12 PM Subject: Re: back in buisness ============================================================ Feeling blue about the state of your email inbox?

" but I couldn't see the dates because the sun had curled the paper and wasn't legible and all. Dang!! Anyway you musta had a good ride; it was beautiful today. Well, I was planning on going to sport cycle this weekend to see if they could check my bike again but I guess I'm on my own. The bike has been running hot. I called Chris yesterday and I said I think the carbs were too lean or it was pre-ignition (did I already talk to you about this? sorry if I did). He confirmed that but asked me to try to fill the tank up with 93 (or was that 97) octane; anyways high octane gas. He said something about it being summer and all and that the bike runs cooler on higher octane gas. I did see something about running high octane gas in Guzziology. He said try this first and then try to retard the ignition, mark distributor position first and then move counter-clock-wise. So that what I'll do this weekend. I plan to drain low octane stuff out first, I read that somewhere too but maybe that is just a pipe-dream.
