Hi Everyone,
Well I finally dug out my Westy this morning and took it for a spin.  7
degrees out and it fired right up no problem after not being started for
almost 8 weeks. I let it warm up for about 20 mins and then took off and it
ran great with lots of power and did not miss a beat.  After about an hour
and a half ride mostly dirt and back roads I went home to thaw out when I
parked it I let it idle a little to just listen to it run and make sure
everything was running good but it seemed like there was some black smoke in
the exhaust and was not sure if I should adjust the mixture or if this is
just common when its this cold the top end of this motor only has about 350
miles on it and I want everything perfect although it probably wont be driven
for a while now,  had to play with something since my snowmobile died. If
anybody has any imput that would be great.
Thanks
Kevin
