Will have to figure this one out. Got her to light off and ran her on the road for a few miles to see if I could burp the system of air. Idle was pretty rough and seemed to be missing. Hot idle was less rumbly, but I think the miss is still there. Will have to have indy tune. The odd thing is that a full tank, with 2 miles on it has lost 0.25 of the volume.
