Which is just fine since there is no longer a need for it. It will idle longer than you need, I've never tried to see if it would run out of pressure. Acceleration is of course clean and crisp without the rich top end. Lube is adequate at peak.
John at Iron Bay was not sure the regulator would feed a Saito 2.20, I cleared that up for him.

Saito 2.20 with Iron Bay regulator.
Dave, as for the Tank Plug you use to stop the fuel line from kinking. good idea, but you could make a much smaller and nicer one now, cause you have a lathe

the only thing I can say that I don't like about the Cline and Iron Bay Reg's is their size, if some one were to put one on the market half the size for half the price there would be many more sold. but with that said the size would not stop me from buying an Iron Bay .
