RE: exasperated (@#$%) Jett .50 owner
I hope you read this Bob..........LIFE IS GOOD AGAIN!! I thought I'd take another look at the sleeve and exhaust port alignment. I can't believe the boo boo I made. I lined up the incorrect sleeve port with the exhaust (much smaller than the correct one). I feel like putting a sack on my head. The end result, I put the mufffer back on, took it to the driveway and it fired right up, Readjusted the idle/mid range screw and voila - perfect! Good transition to high, excellent top-end, holds in the vertical, etc - everything, lovely. Maybe I can still get out for one more end of season flight!
