When we first started, the engines were real rich, which didn't make any sense, since they were on the money on the dyno. Come to find out, the weak batteries were causing the ignition to be weak and not have a complete burn of the fuel. I leaned the engines quite a bit, but then had to keep richening them after we put in the new batteries. After tuning all day, I ended up right back where I started at the beginning of the day. That was the same place they were at on the dyno. So, I worked on them all day for nothing. Anyway, they are right now and Mike is on his way to the poker run. It has been a LONG two weeks getting them done. I pulled an all nighter several times. I started installing them on Tues at 5:00 pm and walked out of the shop at 6:30 am on Wed. I left my wallet and camara on the trailer fender and took off down the road. After 30 minutes I realized what I did and went back to find them. I found the camara in the middle of the road, but no wallet. After cancelling all of the credit cards, I went to sleep at 9:30 am. I woke up at 11:00 am, after 1 1/2 hours of sleep and finished the boat. As I was working on it, a cop showed up with my wallet. Someone delivering papers found it in the road and turned it in to the police. Everything was still there, including the cash. There are still some good people out there.
It has been an ass buster, but well worth it. I'm sure Mike will have a good time with it.

You get back up and running yet Bill?
