in unrelated news I also found on mine that the (top) triangle plate would rub a little on the wire at close to full rotation. Now that is likely as I sheared the bolt off the triangle plate when I couldn't be bothered heating the nylock nut & had to weld on a new bolt, but possibly it was a fraction less stand off at the back causing the wire to get a smidge closer.

But also the wire was bent around a little off square, so fixing that got rid of the issue.

Indeed some of the issues I've had may be slightly related, but mostly carb I still feel. I also took the float needle out & lightly sanded the brass section in case there was a burr or tightness that hung up the float needle when on a lean.

I did a few uphills yesterday with no drama, but they weren't that long (but were steep). The downhills were long & were even steeper. Had me a bit scared & the last thing I was thinking about was the engine running (actually I was blipping every so often just to be clear).
