The miles are adding up a little at a time. I have been swamped at work and it's been either cold or wet here in the Central Valley. A few more miles (500 total)  and I'll do the first oil change and valve adjustment.

I had a clogged idle jet and we traced the problem to the thin foam filter that was included with the Knecht style air filters. Even with the foam filter properly oiled it had some bits that flaked off and made their way to the idle jet.

I didn't think to look back to the Vintage Speed website but I discovered that the K&N #3341 filters or EMPI 3 1/2" oval K&N style filters also fit so the cheap foam filter was thrown out. K&N filters were installed after giving them a proper oiling. The filters were definitely harder to reassemble with the K&N installed but worth the fight. I took it for another spin and there seemed to be no difference in the air flow through the filter. It's nice to not have to worry about clogging the idle jets again and potentially having a fire.
