Got a chance to drive my cruiser around quite a bit yesterday and can't tell you how much better it runs after Jim's carb rebuild. I've read posts that sang the praises of his work and took them with a grain of salt, but now I'm thinking they were understating the results. First off, the truck now starts like it wants to. Second, it idles at a rock steady 500 rpm. And third, it's just got hell of a lot more kick. Yesterday I drove up a hill that I've been driving up every day for years to get to work. In the past my cruiser struggled in 3rd gear to maintain 45-47mph. Yesterday I went up it in 4th gear at 54mph, and I knew there was more power there if I needed it. This is the first time I've felt like maybe my truck isn't all that underpowered after all.
