Loss of "fast" question

Yep, she's CIS-E. She idles smooth as silk (which is just so wrong), and
other than the dogginess, it's all good. I'll do a fuel filter, it's likely
due, along with the other usual plugs/cap/rotor and that nonsense. I'm
gonna go look at the airbox, maybe there's a mouse nest in it or something.
Stranger things have happened. At least Klaus tells me what his problem is
(like, that he thought the air entering his TB yesterday was at -40C. 40C I
could live with, but -40? Not even in winter!! Nothing but love for the
General...apparently their sensors are not so clumsy-proof!)
