Hey Rusty, If you have a mixture monitor on the Pig, I'll bet it reads real rich from 1500 to 3000 rpm (or so).  Try it leaner.  You can use Mode 9 to sneak up on it.   You know what they say, " A lean hog makes better bacon"
 
 " Hopefully, your  rough engine is as simple as a fouled plug.  Is it rough at all speeds? Ok at idle rough at higher rpm?   "
Ed's right I was amazed at how easy it is to foul plugs when the mixture is too rich!  If the plugs look really carbon black, then change them out.
 
When all else fails, read the instructions and follow the steps.  There is a lot in there that I did not see until the 10-12th read.
 
Regards,
Tommy<><
