2nd-The stock carb is no slouch-when jetted correctly it performs very well.
Eventually I went back to the stock carb and threw some larger jets in-it performed better that way than with a 30mm Mikuni
Now that the old one is out, I may try to get it apart to rejet. On the road for the next couple of weeks though, so this is going to sit in the shop, as is, until I get back...

Not the petcock, but Hap might be onto something with the float... I left the gas on at the petcock and should have some time tomorrow to test his theory. Finger-crossed!!!

I did
