Also my carb Idle adjustment was off bad.At least 2.5 turns out.Probly 3.Nyroc's info is on to help you.P650's have to be adjusted.Mine runs like a savege.Kawie's have always dominated since the70s. Good Luck Brushog

I imagine that it will be MUCH easier on a V-Force (than a Prairie) to get at the heads. Not a much body work, etc. Just follow the service manual, you can't go wrong. You may want to buy a feeler guage just for the V-Force ,as you probably will want to "custom" bend the feeler blade, to get them in to the valve covers.
