I think I may have had the idle a little high as well. I just lowered it and I'll give it a shot tomorrow.

Also checking for leaks, the front bearing seemed to leak a little more than I'm used to seeing. I'll work with it tomorrow, and if I can't get it I'll order a bearing and see if that helps it
The front bearing on the S5's only have one rubber seal so they will leak a little more fuel especially if your still runnin rich. If you can find other pipes try them if you can, I have never had any luck with JP or OS pipes on RB's. Another thing to try if you have the option is maybe 1 tooth bigger on your spur gear, you won't even notice much of a difference in top speed.
