I'll catch the first round.
The cop bike started running rough yesterday afternoon. Consistent,
throughout the RPMs and feels like it's running on one lung. No stumble,
stutter, just rough and probably down on power. Seems like this has
happened before and then righted itself. I'd like to take care of it but
don't want to start buyin' stuff that doesn't fix anything. Any good ideas
of where to start would be greatly appreciated. I haven't checked yet, but
every time this has happened before, the plugs have always been just fine,
with good burn. 2004 TC88 FI with PCIII, Andrews 26G cams, K&N filter and
SE slashcut mufflers. No odd sounds or blow-by or anything that I can detect
by sight or feel.

The few times mine has stumbled I used about a half pint of isoprophyl
alcohol straight in the tank....took care of it. Now I do it randomly
just for the hell of it.

Don't think isoprophyl is a good idea for internal human use.
