Something in carb that was restricting it came loose...burned some carbon off the valves that wasnt letting them open all the way...
Something that was ignored before has righted itself. probably in the fuel system.

Hi dropzone
no had cat removed 6 months ago. if a previous poster is right about summer fuel then it should be sold all year as current temps are around 0c.

Winter fuel is cheaper to make. It's crap, but they can only sell it in the winter (by law I believe). It's an emissions/profits thing. Summer gas is much better.
