Poured water down the throttle body with the engine running at 2000 RPM.
Wrked on tricking the tCM into giving me later upshifts and earlier downshifts.

When done properly, removes carbon deposits from the valves and combustion chambers.
Pretty easy.
Get a cup of water, preferably something like a Dixie cup.
With the air cleaner off, hold the engine RPM at 2000 RPM or higher and dribble the water from the Dixie cup, which you've pinched to look like a spout on top, into the carb or throttle body. Go slowly and the engine will bog a bit. Stop and let it recover. Repeat until the cup is empty.

Death Wobble
Where to start, heard everyone talk about having death wobble, didn't have it, so I didn't think much of it. Well, 4 years, worn down mud tires and death wobble. Crawled under found adjustable tracking bar bolts loose, checked everything else and greased all zerk fittings tightened everything up steers great, just need to save up for some new tires.
