BigDan: There is one fundalmental problem with your suggestion. Two of my dogs are Jack Russell Terrorists. Let them loose and they'll eat the damn thing.
All others: While waiting for a customer to arrive, I fired the Alpha up and did some fine tuning on the jetting. Smooth advance through throttle application, smooth idle, stuff like that. WHAT A SWEET SMELL!
Of course I will probably have to do it all again as the Wx will change but at least I got my hands slimey!
