Thanks my thread-friend... as you wrote the Spooky Tooth site sure has it all with pics. It sure is re-assuring to realize these more than useful threads exist, as well as understanding and interested thread-pals like you.
One notch up the needle shaft and my bike is now humming like a watch and hardly smoking at all on idle. The plug is cleaner and the engine responds better with no vibes at all speeds although it sputters a bit at low speed. I can just imagine what it will run like after break-in with a higher oil-gas ratio.
Thanks again and happy motoring!
