Drove it to work today, 60 mile round trip. Raised the metering rod at work and maybe felt a small improvement on the way home. Broke traction on wet pavement a few times without trying, leaving red lights smile Sad. Anyhoo, I just ordered a 1" x 5" x 6" aluminum plate off ebay, I'll see if I can make a carb adapter out of it. Its big enough to make two.
