assuming it was warm yesterday over there like around bozo, charge temps are up and you might have been just close enough to being too rich before that having your red transition a little low could have showed up after the thing heat soaked a hair on that pull.

Well from what I understand if you turned down the red/blue it would turn on the red sooner in the rpm range. Red/blue adjustments are rpm sensitive. So if you had it too low then red would come on too soon as it was coming up in revs, then over fuel and cut out, which would bring rpm back down, which would turn off red again and then the cycle continues.

yessir, if you go so rich it missfires, you get the lean reading from the large burp of air that goes through that wasnt involved in a burn. that is why its all over the place when its gurgling on you.

I wouldnt worry about it. I have been around em for a while and am very embarassed to say, I missed a loose air box the other day. :face-icon-small-dis

I finally got to watch the vid on my phone. What I dont get is my sled sounds completely different when its rich. Mine has more of a flutter, not such a on and off the throttle sound. It seems like you are completely dumping the throttle and then stabbin it again.
