starts 1st kick when warm, cold takes max 3 kicks.
absolutely pleased with this setup.
no head mods have been done (yet) just might use a thinner base gasket to up compression a bit next time if i shoud (ever) swop piston

EDIT : so now i've put a new piston in it ,and left the base gasket OUT (more compression, better squish from 1.82mm to 1.32), i used permatex (liquid gasket).
after some rides (0-5 degr Celcius) it felt too rich off idle, so i swapped the 45PJ for a 42 and that seemed to make a huge difference. much more crisp engine response thrueout the revs!

RE-EDIT : since it got a little warmer, about 10-15 deg Celcius, i put an even smaller PJ in, went to 40.
yet even better idling.
just have quite some spooge, does this mean i'm either running too rich on the main (180) or i'm not revving it enough (no need to for what i do).
might try 178 MJ...
any thoughts on the spooge?
