Think theres a little difference in air pressure between his house, and my house???
Jet your bike a well as you can, and live with it.....

So... your jetting will never be perfect because you run your bike on Kerosene?
Do you still run premix with that?

FYI, in Califonia, Gas Cans are $16..... You gotta'a pay some kind of bullshit tax when you purchase one.
Kerosene cans are blue,not red, but otherwise the same can.
$8

Jesus can California be any gayer?!?!?! Sometimes I just don't know how you guys do it...
Oh and I bet there is some legal penalty you could potentially pay for storing fuel in a Kerosene can

I meant like some prick actually citing you for it...like getting a ticket for purchasing meat on a Sunday, getting a BJ, having sex with a woman without asking her father's permission first. Lots of dumb ass laws that aren't enforced. I'm saying a guy could expect a fine for doing what Bob is...like he's a bonified criminal

stupid...

From the looks of it, I'd say he needs a new one.
Tax Evasion

AlisoBob you try, you put your bottle in the sun for 2 hours, and then you returned to your home, you'll see the same effect on your drum (evaporation >> pressure >> Gas leak)

shade until I took it out of my truck in Aliso Viejo....

change in elevation is crazy. A couple years ago, I was driving home to vegas for san clemente, and my mom packed up a bunch of good hungarian food in tupperware. Scared the shit out of me when the lid popped off halfway up the halloran summit. it was loud as fuck too. but there was that much of a difference in pressure inside the tubberware as liek 100ft about sea level and the atmospheric pressure at like 3000-4000ft
I had my gen-3 jetted tits here at home at ~ 2400ft, but then we went up spring mountain to ride (guessing ~4000ft) and it ran like dog shit and all the bikes were spooging and blubbering.
how about them fuel injected 4 strokes!

Temp diff between yucca and down the hill is what caused it period.

Sorry dudes, it is a combination of Temp and Atmospheric pressure /Elevation.
That is the most simple way to discribe it, could not be bother going to extremes to explain it.
