On a side note, does Mikuni pay you for each individual plug you put out for the TM36, or are you on salary?

No, it was just one free TM36...cheapskates!

I wish it was a free carb...LOL! On the cable mount, I could see the mount coming loose while you had a handful of throttle and getting cocked in such a way that pulling the return cable will no longer have the desired effect. Still as I mentioned before, it's more likely that the throttle cables would no longer have the mechanical ability to pull the throttle open or closed.

I got the bike out for a quick bit of trail and dirt road riding tonight. There's no issue with the JBW. It seems to be holding up perfectly.... so far.

The problem is that it's backfiring like crazy off throttle. Too lean, right? I went with a 124 main and 3rd notch on the needle.

Either way, I have JB weld holding my throttle cables on.

I'll have to be a little more careful when I am removing/reinstalling that screw and bracket I guess..
