Yeah, next time.... one of them was a little stubborn, but now I know to work at it a little longer.

The test ride actually went well... throttle response is improved, and causes an illusion similar to what it felt like when I first shimmed. My midrange still sucks from yanking my snorkel 2 days ago.... I may put it back, but haven't decided.

For a while I have suspected my valves need to be done, because at my 7.5K they said they were barely within spec, and didn't change them. I am almost at 14K now, and the engine has sounded a little clicky, or chattery to me for a while. But now that I know the diaphragm has been torn at the lip, I wonder if it is more of a pulsation that I am hearing.... it is hard to say for sure.
