Good. Sounds normal.

On cold start it would catch right away, but kind of lumber around and hunt a little bit in the first 3-5 min. Once driving, that goes away. But then I noticed mild surging when cruising just somewhere between 2000 and 2500 rpms. That goes away when adding a throttle load or immediately upon engaging the clutch.
CIS does not like driving under 2500 rpm. 3000+ much better.

Was going to get into some mixture adjustment thinking that was running rich and then… it just died after 30 seconds of idling one evening. I’ve lost spark and I think it’s probably the CDI box.
Leave the mixture alone. Search my handle for "Telegraph test" to determine if you have an ignition problem.
