Yeah I'd seen that.. but as you say.. You need to ride it. And to read the plugs for changing the jets, you really need new or cleaned plugs. You'd have to ride full throttle for twenty minutes to change the color otherwise. 

It'll be fine mate.. Adjust the idle, then tune the needle slide, then see how it goes.. You're an observant guy... and won't bugger it from a lean main jet.

I have a champion in it now, I think I’ll switch to an iridium after it’s dialed in. I like having less stress on the ignition system! 
Lol that plug is brand new…

I think you’re right as far as just needing to adjust the needle. It’ll be a week or so before I’m that far though.

Thanks, I like to think I pay attention most days! 🤣

Just got it out today for the first time. Rode great and not bothering with jetting because it felt great. 
 

Are these Hilliard differentials normally whiny upon deceleration? It only makes noise when it is below 5mpg to a stop. I should also add that it has an aluminum sprague cage instead of plastic and new bearings/seals.

Replaced the u-joints and put a new badlands 3500lbs atv winch on her this weekend! 
I have new upholstery/seat foam on order, custom made with an extra 1/4 foam sewn in the cover. Pretty excited! 
Will be using it to plow this winter and as a toy on the side to go tackle some trails.
