    @Fleetwin, I did notice that it ran fine at WOT, I However in throttling down aproaching the launch area it seemed to be struggling. It felt like it wanted to die however it did keep running and I managed to bring it in at a slow Idle.
    I am wondering if carb settings can be a factor?
    I recently had the carburetter apart and the low-speed setting is it about 1 1/2 turns out from seeded the high-speed setting might be a 1/3 turn out from seated. ( that is where it seem to run best at WOT)
