I have read many threads with issues about the WOT "bogging" topic. It seems like a lot of people have had or is having this problem. Lately, When I get up to around my cruising speed at WOT around 30 MPH the engine seems to get to a point and then "bogs" down a few MPH, then picks back up to the bog point.
I have changed the intake gasket, put better connections on the electrical connections, adjusted the little brass float clip in the bowl, I opened the gas cap while at WOT and it didn't seem to affect the performance.
So I am almost to work this morning and I reach down to make sure my choke is completely off and when I put my hand on the aircleaner assembly, the engine smooths out and picks up a few MPH. Hmmm, everytime I put my fingers around the air cleaner, the engine runs better at WOT. Could the engine vibration be affecting carborator performance? I think so.
I am about to change to a better spark plug from the included chinese plug and switch to 40:1 mix from the 25:1 I am running ATM. I am also thinking of getting a better, lower resistance spark plug wire.
