    Lack of power/smoke

    Just a thought from a "part-time" mechanic......try pressurizing your fuel system. Check for seepage at the connections, to make sure you aren't sucking air into the system under load.

    Before and after pics.

    The problem with stock rims: they squeeze the sidewall in too far for my liking. In a "low air pressure" situation, they tend to spin the bead loose. You can't inflate to proper standards, and get a good footprint on the tread.
