i went for a ride the other day to my old house to get my truck my spree was 4 stroking the entire way there i think im gonna unplug the bystarter and put it back in i bet in warmer weather the thing will work better. as it is now that spree is in my old house im hoping to go back and get it today my truck was full of scrap and i had to leave the spree behind . but i think the d*** bystarter is to blame for the 4 stroking cause when i opened the air box up a wee crack it took off like it should is it possable its getting too little air with stock 65 jet and stock air box? and if it was 50 id be happy but 42 in a day or so will be way better than the 5 it has been

Probably just need to readjust the carb for colder weather. I've heard you want to turn the air screw out a tad and adjust the needle to be one notch richer.

It would QUIT 4 strokin of anything in colder weather. 4 strokin is a too rich inidcator.

And this does nothing for WOT, only idle. This wouldn't cure the 4 stroking.
