Well the day started out good until  one of the carbs started to leak  I'm not sure yet if it's a stuck float or the needle and seat  but I'll find  out when I get her home

I wish I was able to take a picture  but I was too busy shaking her down   
From what I was able to see the roost was only about 4ft the pic is all the way up

I would try to adjust your cable a little bit more unless the diverted is topped then a wedge is good but remember that if you have any porpoising issues then they get worst if you add a wedge

I was able to adjust the cable a bit more  it's a little better  so I guess the next step is a wedge
