i'm going to add something else. i've found dealing with the 800avs (not the avs2) that taking fuel out does help them drive better off idle. they have a .040" idle jet and don't go bigger. i've reduced main metering jet area and used small squirters to improve tip-in.




35 year old stuff. Probably 15 year old stuff 35 years ago. What's old is new again.

I remember you and I talking about this in the early 1990s. You were giving pointers back then. Probably what you said above.
