You puled the cowling off and it leaned out at idle is why it woke up. And 2 strokes do NOT like to be run lean at ALL! you can open up the cowling, remove the air box, and install airhorns on it for a performance gain. BUT you will also have to rejet the carbs, and be prepared for a melted piston or 2 in the process if your not careful. 2 strokes are VERY sensitive to any airflow change, even the slightest airflow change can make the difference between one living for 5000 hours or grenading shooting a rod through the block.
