After pilot jets replaced on 20100811, floats set exactly 25mm under lip, and pilot screws at 1.75 turns out.
At winterization 2010, plugs looked good, but a tad lean, perhaps at the pilot screw.
At winterization 2011, plugs look perfect. Need to remember to check battery fluid mid-year each year!
Need cooling fin rubber spacers (part #92075-109 $1.61 @ Ron Ayers), oil filter washer (part #92022-1012)
