Yes Norm that is a serious amount of work you do with that mod, I would need a backup of a dozen carbies before attempting that!

Something I've noticed in my limited fiddling with these is that the couple of replacement diaphragms I've bought seem to be a bit lightweight and flimsy compared with the originals, am I wrong?

Regarding speed, I looked at a workshop manual I found on this forum and it ended by saying something along the lines of " If that doesn't work change the spring under the end cap". It didn't offer any advice on longer/shorter/stiffer or whatever. I tried a shorter one and it marginally brought the revs down.

Problem is in the cam design, some numnut put lumps on it and this is where the cable has problems jumping over the lumps Once you remove them the cable can operate smoothly, but the top of the cam ends up being too low so I have to put the washers under it to lift the cam to bring the revs down. Then it requires the screw in the cap so you can then bring the idle revs up to what you want. I wish there was a simpler way but until somebody comes up with a fix, this is what I have to do.
And another thing I should add to the modifications to the carby is where the cable enters the body I file with a small round file the inside of the body to allow the cable to be fitted into both notches because the cam has been lifted on the washers and if you don't file the inside of the slot for the cable you end up bending the inner cable and that causes a lump the won't allow it to travel in and out of the outer cable..
