Yeah I know it runs like crap, but hey its just the first startup. This is running EXTREMELY rich (see pic of plug comparison new vs old after 3 running sessions like this one). Sorry about the quality of the vid, I reduced it to make the file small so it will be okay even for 56k people. Total size is 800 something kb.

Oh my God. That brings back memories. When I first started up my ka-t it sounded exactly like that, like a train or so. Damn, man, just wait until you drive it like that before you get the exhaust welded. Just unbelievable, congrats again.
