I hear you.
Time passes and things develop. Lots of data was gathered once APT rolled out the early models and they were all over addressing issues, updating models, and working with customers to get things running right.
While I could find flaws in the product, I couldn't in the service. Being in Australia it took time though, waiting on parts, and even more so if I was to send the whole carb back for updates. Introduce a 2nd child to the family around the same time and riding was more important than tinkering. Easier to go with what worked.
Like you, I also get great economy out of the PWK.
Also had a Lectron of similar vintage to play with, got similar economy, similar power, and similar issues with finding the sweet spot (metering rod position + boost jet).
