After all the problems I had last year in Oregon, this year was easy in Idaho. 
Passed first time! 

I felt she was running a bit rich as there was some popping on changing up, so 
I checked the timing plug gap (42 thous with 40kv coil) and screwed the needle 
down a tad. I rebuilt the carbon cannister a week or so ago as the outlet was 
not connected (plugged) last year to get through and even then she was was high.
Probably did not really have to make any adjustments as she was way below the 
levels here. I'll richer her up a bit tonight or at the weekend as she really 
needed the choke today and did not defore. Also she did not have the usual 
acceleration (not that she has a lot compared to my daily driver with 3x the 
power). Mind you it was colder this morning.
