One thing I'm envious on yours, is the big carb… I really want to try a 35mm carb, but I know I'm asking for trouble…
The big carb is tricky. If you go too big, you'll struggle to get the 1/8-1/4 throttle range correct. The physics just don't allow enough draw of mix and it's perpetually lean.
I've come to the realization I have a little bit of that with the 36, but don't feel like dropping the cash for a 35 to solve a problem that doesn't bother me all that much.
I have a spare 34 on the shelf, but it wasn't big enough for the top end, at least with the 54mm crank. Now that I'm on a 51, maybe I should try it again, but then I'm back to Square One for carb tuning, and I don't really have interest in that right now.
