Shake Down Runs

  Taking lots of short rides around town.  Check things out and getting used to things.  I've run in to a few small issues but nothing major so far.
  The fan relay quit on me for no apparent reason.  Luckily I've been looking at all the gauges at every stop light and sign so I noticed before it got to hot.  It cools great when moving, but needs the fan at idle.  Replaced the relay and it's been good ever since.  A spare is in the tool bag.
  Found I've got oil weeping from the between the intake and the block at the rear.  I'll have to tear into it to fix it.
  Ended up increasing the accelerator pump nozzle a couple sizes to help with a bit of a bog accelerating off idle and I've been playing with timing and mixture adjustments to get it running just right.  I've got occasional dieseling, but I'm hoping timing and carb adjustments can make that disappear.
