Was reading up on this Mod for the 38 ML Diaphram style carbs for I assume quicker
response especially the low end between 2000 to 3000 rpm.I notice my bike has a slight
flat spot in that rpm range.If I crack the throttle of the line it will pull hard all the way to red line or
if I'm running along at 4 grand and crack the throttle it will pull hard up to red line.But run in a high enough
gear were the rpms are at 2 to 3 grand and hit it hard it won't pull as hard like theres a slight dead spot were its either to rich or to lean, not sure.I am running 30 pilot(up 2 sizes) stock middle setting on needle(middle)
and 135 mains.I have tried dropping the needle 1 clip but had to go back to stock middle setting or mid range felt flat.Big difference. The 76 and 77 had really rich mid range needle jets compared to any other year and
what works for others doesn't seem to work for mine. Talked to MMM and he advised me to try drilling out
the slide and/or dropping the pilot one size.Anyone try this slide mod and can comment, from what little I could find this sounds like a Minton Mod.
