That has to be the nicest Checkmate ever built. And to think you did it all w/o removing the deck. Pretty Bad Arse!

Thanks. Going to make it up to the lake soon. Let me know what weekend. Hopefully I can dock this thing by then. Bit of a learning curve dosent react like the enforcer at all. Going to hit delaware Monday and probably tuesday to get the jetting done and practice docking.

Saturdays testing didn't go to well. Did a couple short runs 1 to 4 min: expected to see SOME kind of color, they all looked new. Figured it was super lean added some jet and tried again. Repeat that for most of the day. Made it so fat that I finally saw some color, but just on 2, 5 and 7. Kinda at a loss.

Put the jets back close to whare it came off the dyno + 2 to be on the safe side. Going to replace the plug wires to make sure that isn't why 2,5,7 were darker.

Next we run it till we have color on the plugs to read.

New plug wires and a one inch spacer at least made the plugs make sence. One plain rich one lean. Going to try witout the spacer and stager the jets.

Weird?

Didn't miss anything at Huron.
Port motor fought me, said screw it and left it home!

Just home from 4 days at PIB watching British car races.

Still going to try and do a weekend before the water gets hard.
