Well I,m away in the 33(600klm)' it runs fine at any speed up or down hill,but lift the throttle for a decent or stop at an intersection and it misses like anything on accelerating,Walt DuPont gave me the heads up,BUT I was not 100%sure,I need a good thrashing as he was right,too big idle jets that soot up the plugs on decell or idle,I found this out today after leaving my brother home and hitting the motor way ,100 klms at 55 mph no worries ,but as soon as I lifted for the exit and went to accelerate again missed like mad, stopped and pulled the plugs 1/2 of them fouled with soot,
8 put a new set in for the trip home on Monday and will make some smaller idle jets then,
Sorry Walt for doubting ,
