OK, I've given it an extra two degrees of initial timing from 6* factory recommendation to 8*. We'll see if that helps out on cold starts and initial warm up. Test driving it warmed up around the block seemed to have a little more get up and go to it.

I readjusted the solenoid idle to 800rpm and the low idle screw to about 450rpm before it wanted to stop. When adjusting the solenoid for idle, should the low screw be tightened all the way each time before setting the normal idle? I did it without tightening the screw down, and it took a lot to get to 800rpm, then when I set the screw it stayed at the low idle. Then I tried it by tightening the screw first and then set the idle, before setting the low idle and that worked. It was too damn hot in that area to try setting the mixture screw again after the idle. So I'll do that later.

Now I'm going to fiddle with the tailpipe to center it so it doesn't rub.
