Hey Bob,
How's the TR6? Good I hope. My TR250 has been back together for about
6 weeks or so. Everything seems fine, but I think that the left rear wheel
may be a bit bent. It might be the tire. I haven't had much luck finding
a replacement tire either. I found one though, for $185! It was surely an
expensive day!

I'm in the vicinity of 10-12 BTDC with about 37 degrees advance at full
throttle. I get about 16-18 mpg in O/D. To tell the truth, I've never
checked what my MPG would be if I hung around the speed limit!

That makes me want to GRUNT! uugghhh uuggghh!
My cam is .410 lift and 292 duration. It idles okay. :P
