They'll figger it out and send you the 010. You ordered 2 of them, right? You need 2.

AFAIK they sell em 2 at a time.

cleaned the carb a second time consisting of removing the bowl and shooting carb cleaner through all the Brass tubes. A detailed carb disassembly as posted on this site was not done. I also did a visual on the reeds, it appears one side may have a very small gap. On the order of 1/64" or (.0156...

bystarter should be good, it was replaced a week ago with a NIB one

i replaced the Petcock with a spare and the air filter is clean. i also did a half assed cleaning of the carb. The spark plug was pulled for observation (w/o) doing a chop) the result revealed the end of said plug is dark and appears to be covered in oil. based on that alone Id say its prob running ...

the title pretty much says it all.

i was out riding the spree to see exactly how many miles i get on one tank.
Well i found out, 32 miles per tank full to bone dry.

Now however my spree wont go more than 15 mph at WOT.
