Subject : What did I do?
I've been "tuning up" this week, new plugs, a splash of SeaFoam in the tank, a tank of 93 octane just for fun. Adjusted valves although I don't think I changed much, they do sound a tad different, mostly quieter but one seems a bit louder, haven't tried to figure which one yet. "Synch'd carbs although I just checked 'em and never touched the synch screw as they were fine. Anyway, went for a bit of cruise today. Seemed to be running fine. On the highway she felt particularly happy so I canned it and it shoot up to 90 like nothing, then 100, then 110, 115 and I buried it. ?? I've never gotten that much out if it. I guess I was doing 120. Yikes. I better go back out and verify that......wow.
