Nice the dell'orto is pretty tough to Dial in for idle and medium throttle. But it rocks at full throttle . The bog you are experiencing is due to lack of acc pump. When you WOT the vaccuum isn't high enough to draw fuel fast enough. That's why most mechanical slide (round or flat) carbs use an acc pump . Do you have Any pics of the mounting process? Jakob

I use a Keihin FCR39 flatslide carb yes my guess is that's why you have the lags as the vaccuum drops when you twist the throttle (WOT=Wide Open Throttle) therefore not being able to draw fuel fast enough. That's why an accelerator pump is added so it pumps fuel in the manifold when you twist the throttle Quick.

Yamaha XT 600 single carb + KTM shock - How it was made

I spliced into the orange wire going from the TCI to the ignition coil. You need to use the wire with 1k resistance. Otherwise the rev counter will Go nuts. Jakob

How about the temp sensor? When I put it in the spark plug I can't fully bolt the spark plug because the cable is in the way...
