Default BME 100: Shake maker

Mine shook really bad at idle, and more than I thought it should at peak during the first half gallon. Not knowing exactly what yours is doing, I cant say yours isnt bent, but here is what I did, and now the vibration is acceptable: lean the low end needle to the max possible - I leaned mine until it wouldnt transition, then richened back to the next setting that would. That alone removed almost all of the shaking tendancies, especially the rough idle. The more gas I run through it, the smoother it gets. Keith says the 102 is smoother still, and will give you approximately 300 rpm increase at peak, but it will cost you another $350 for the upgrade - I opted to get on the list for the 110 as I didnt think the upgrade cost was worthwhile when the 110 is going to be a monster, will have same dimensions and weigh less.
