Glad to hear you got better results from that radial. Many times bringing stuff back to factory specs (or to how the designer intended it) works wonders for engine performance...

Stories I can tell you! I own my bike now for 29 years and the carb on that bike had a bad rep straight from the time it hit the showroom floor 36 years ago. Because that particular carb came from a car, and "everybody knows that bike carbs are different, right? Stupid Italians!"
For 28 years I accepted those stories and rode the bike "as is", never giving it a second thought because of all the stories and believing it would not get any better anyway, In fact the last 6 or 7 years I rode barely and the last 2 not at all even.
Last year, it refused to start, so I had no option but to take apart that carb. I cleaned all jest and air circuits, adjusted it, but what I also did was go over all imechanical parts such as the actuating lever of the accelertion pump, and that pumps orifices and buffer springs, AND I got rid of the K&N filter, open airbox and every bit of "tuning" I did over the years.
Back to all original paper filter cartridge, "restricitve" (or so I thought) full airbox, and everything nice and clean,.

Dang... All of a sudden it felt like I installed a pair of Mikuni's. Bike never rode that well, never followed the throttle that nice, and as far as I can tell, full performance is restored to manual stated specs.
