Did re jetting after move from Colorado 6500 ft back to North Phoenix 2200 ft.

Starts right up, good throttle response.  Drops right back to idle.  Around neighborhood and a couple short 2 mile rides seems fine.  Rode it yesterday for about 15 miles, seems okay but at one point I was in 4th gear and doing say 50.......rolled throttle on and not much there....seemed weak, rolled out and was okay. 

Stopped at buddies house, let it cool checked plugs looked okay, raised the needle to 4th notch (richer) and rode home.  Started fine ran fine but seemed a little burbly at 4th-5th gear 55 mph.

Got home and here's the plugs.

Happy b-day Chuck
