1) why she was running like **** on the idle/progression circuit... i pulled the dellorto apart, rebuild kit in hand, and found that my front rotor's idle jet was trying to inhale something that looked a lot like a planarian (for those of you that remember Biology).... but was just a piece of scum that had gotten dislodged and clogged the jet.

2) the exhaust leak that i couldnt find... i guess it wasnt the header flange after all... you know that auxiliary exhaust port that is used to heat the intake manifold?... well, it wasnt covered up by the gasket/intake manifold combo that i have, and was causing QUITE the exhaust leak. Upon instruction from Ito at JR Rotary, i filled that exhaust port up with some Minute Mend Metal Epoxy stuff, and last i checked, it was ROCK hard, so tomorrow morning, she'll be ready to rock

hopefully, she'll idle, and be quiet all at the same time
