With big temp changes, you need to adjust the air/fuel screw on the Rat110. I usually have to set it at the start of the season, when the heat peaks, and then again for fall weather. Of course do this after warming up the engine.

It's the brass slotted screw behind the black knob... I drilled a small hole in the pet carrier so I can adjust it easier. Looks like another drain hole in the bottom of the carrier so it's no big deal.

Unless it's an '09...then it's not a slotted screw, it's a "D" shaped screw. Means a hole in the pet carrier doesn't help...you still need to remove the carrier.

I see how that makes a big difference im drilling saturday with the seat out . i set the the air and idle sounds good set it alittle bit on the high side also noticed that my spark plug came out very easly i think the temp canges from 40 to 70 made it loose so checkin again in the morning and see what happens
