Thanks pdxjim.

Great timing with this article.  I am currently at the point of installing new carbs on my RZ.  I will definitely be reading this more then once.   Extremely informative (at least for me).

Thanks again

note the part in the middle of the article explaining needle position and the 'non magical' middle position.  :toot:

I love Kevin Cameron's ability to translate complex science into terms that a halfwit (me) can grasp. Has he written or compiled a book yet?
Thanks Jim!

Oh, yes! Several: Top Dead Center, Top Dead Center II, Sportbike Performance Handbook, etc. Check Amazon, Barnes & Noble or any bookseller for his titles. He's a favorite of mine as well.

Thanks for the info. I just ordered TDC from Amazon! Remember when Amazon only sold books?
