Still at it, the parts I ordered have not come in yet. I was thinking to myself maybe I could jet the carb to tame the hit? Isn't a lean engine kind of jerky and acts like it need more? First tried lowering the needle to fatten up the mid to lessen the hit, but no luck engine just bogs in the mid. Richened up the pilot and all I got was bog off idle, even tried both needle and pilot together and engine wouldn't run clean at all.
I even tried to make my own throttle tamer from the throttle tube, no dice so far. I made the first part of the pull smaller (about 3/4" long and 3/16" deep) and then ramped it back up to the initial diameter of the cam. Might have to take more of the first pull diameter of the cam off?
One thing I did determine is if you ride the engine hard, you don't even notice the initial hit at all...go figure.
Now I got a bad vibe right about mid throttle like something is loose inside the engine. Flywheel or oil slinger, it is almost like the engine shakes side to side at mid throttle. Once past mid throttle it smooths itself out. Looks like the side covers are coming off...
Best thing I did get out of this is, if you act like you want the best gas mileage possible out of the engine and ride like your scared (barely twist the throttle), no initial hit what so ever.
