Thank you! I will check later this week. Hope they are set on the wrong position or are set on mismatched settings.

Ok - will be back in my shop in two hours and will check. Learn something new every day!
It has to do with the orientation data that is stored by iPhones that the VBulletin forum doesn't use. The only way to get them to load correctly is to first use a third party program to reorient the picture, then upload.

I usually upload to photobucket first. For a quick reference pic I thought I can take a gamble.

Looks like I figured out the problem. The throttle cables were slightly out of sync. Set those and rebalanced the carbs and it is all good. This thing pulls nicely through the whole power band. Thank you to everyones input on the needles. I checked those and made sure they were on the right setting.
But now the limping starter refuses to do its job. New one on order.

For the old Bosch starters I have had pretty good success with replacing the bushings at either end. I hear better things about the Valeo starters, but my personal experience with Valeo starters isn't super wonderful. I do like the NipponDenso starter fitted out for an airhead (available from Rick at MotorRad Elektrik).

That's quite a price tag for a starter.

The starter came in. I didn't expect much for $75. I was surprised to see it come in a nice box with some sort of spec/test sheet. This starter is much smaller and way lighter then the old one. Very happy with the quality. Only time will tell how long it will last.
