Very dark. I rinsed it thoroughly with a garden hose and then used a shop vac to blow air through it so it would dry quickly and push out any remaining debris.
I did hear a little rattle inside after it was completely dry. I imagine that's bits of carbon?
Tried it out and the first thing I noticed was that it was a little louder. It did feel like I had increased power but still cut out at around 1/2 - 3/4 throttle. Slow up hills.
Perhaps I should wait for my new main jet and test again then?
As for the exhaust gasket, I ordered a new one and reshaped the old one better for the meanwhile.
Until the next update, I'll leave you with a put together picture:
you definately need that bigger jet, the 68 is only 3 up from a stock Spree jet lol also if you have never changed hte belt it may be too worn to be as effective on the outer part of the variator that it is now able to access but that is just a thought nothing is usually for certain
