I sure appreciate the higher compression each day i do the long incline to work..
At the top this morning while still on the incline i read 60 indicated, im sure that never happened before.
i do have much more trouble starting even when its merely cool, like 15°C. choke doesn't seem to help much.
And when it just starts cold, its seems very labored with a very slow idle that gets much faster as it warms... i didn't notice this much difference cold to warm previously.
The starting will likely be helped with fix charging/new battery.

i really wish i had access to a dyno, id love to know exactly the power gained from stock to deck really was. in theory it should only have been 3 or 4%... I didnt expect to feel any of that, but the effects on holding speed is quite noticeable.
