Felt like the idle was weak during the whole ride and when I got back, I just let it die at the garage. Wouldn't hold idle for more than a minute.
Came back down in garage gear. Battery was fine at about 6.28V. Spark plug looked ok, though noticed it was a D8HA. Checked the gas flow through the carb and that seemed fine, too. Noticed that when it was not idling well, turning the throttle screw seemed to have no effect... interesting.
Decided to swap out the plug for a new D6HA. Started it up and she seemed a little better. Then dialed the air screw out from 2 1/4 turns to 3 1/4 turns and that had her running strong. But a bit weird that the screw would need to come out that much.
Not quite satisfied with that result. Probably need to invest in an aftermarket carb (with the gas line on the right!).
After that. rigged up the new Hide&Drink tool roll using the leather strap from Springfield leather. Bolted it using the holes for the fender. Came out rather well, to be honest. Not sure if it's the best look (hanging it off the bottom of the left side seat is still best, I think), but at least I can carry it now.
Finally tested the first version of the 3D printed cable guide and it was way too big (as expected).
