yes I cooked two engines because of float height & the 1 psi. loss in 6mins. That was acceptable & still a small air leak... :shrugani: Yes I run my shee WOT throttle until it's almost maxed out then I back off to 3/4 throttle. I ride back roads, alot of long straights & wide open fields cause I live in the country. I sat down & thought about everything i did & didnt do. Then it clicked that last year when I was at busco my right carb was leaking fuel from the over flow drain tube. So I adjusted the right float by eye so it would stop leaking. I pushed the float tab up to much & it restricted the carb from getting the proper amount of fuel. So as long as i ride around about half throttle it would be fine, but at WOT & hard accleration the engine would run the right carb dry. Reason is because the float level was incorrect & not allowing the right float bowl to full properly. ANOTHER LESSON LEARNED :notworthy:
