I actually re-jetted on that pass... bumped it to a 75 shot. But I screwed up on the fuel jet and slipped in the jet which originally came with the fogger (I converted it to a wet system on the install). I didn't have anywhere to put it, so I just stuck it in the packet I'd been saving for the 75 fuel jet; and while I was POSITIVE that I pulled the right one out, the evidence has since indicated that I clearly installed the odd-ball .63 jet in the fuel side.
So, unbeknownst to me, she was running pig-rich; and began to flood the intake on the next pass; which ran a 7.39... then on the pass after THAT it actually flooded after the burn out... I didn't know what was going on at the time; because it didn't even occur to me that I'd installed the wrong jet; but symptomatically, it was exactly like a stuck float on a carb... severely bogging out of the hole.
So at first, I thought it was a failing coil or fuel pump... I closed the bottles and packed it in; she ran beautifully all the way home. I got into her pretty good at a couple of lights and not a sputter (NA); but Saturday, I pulled the jets and there it was... exposing my criminally dumbass and undeniably so.
I changed the jet and took her out and she's hitting like a bomb. I expect we'll see a marked improvement on the 7.28 next Friday... weather permitting.

Just getting to know the system... I started off just wanting to control the temperature of the air-charge... to sorta get her to where she runs in the sweet air of fall or winter (SW Florida); now it's turned into its own thing.
Go figure, huh...
