rejetted and WOW what a difference! Fired right up no hesitation and ready to go. I had a beautiful ride and filled up on the way home. 70 mpg. Not complaining about anything there. The next day I planned a ride with my brother so I went out early and did my pre-ride check and noticed the oil level seemed high. Since I had changed it the day before I figured I didn't have it vertical and went about my day. When we got ready to leave Rocky complained bitterly and ran crappy. Needles to say I was a little sick. Besides being jetted very lean Sherpa's petcock doesn't have a fuel shutoff. Prime, on and reserve plus they are known to fail. Well either it failed, I left it on prime or a needle valve stuck because there was gas in my oil - which caused my oil level to rise There's just a window no dipstick. I think I would have smelled it if I had a dipstick. We disconnected the fuel line and the gas stopped after a few seconds so we're not exactly sure what happened. I changed the oil and filter 3 times and went for a ride today and it ran fantastic!!! AGAIN!! Yesterday during all this drama I ordered a new petcock WITH an OFF position and it came today. That was fast but I won't get I on till tomorrow - another story...
Well that's the Rocky saga to date. My next change is a new front fender. There's a low one on there now and I'm going high. When I have a chance I'll tell the rest of the story - probably in the "what I did wrong and what I learned from it. Until then. Happy trails!
