As my ride still hits the bars too violent I dig on to my scrap metal pile and made 20lbs more front end ballast weights.
Hope it helps. Total must be around 50 lbs now.

First race was lots of rain but we managed to run best out of three match race. I won 3-0 this time but that was nothing spectacular, I had to pedal multiple times each run as my ride wanted to kiss the walls so badly. Best thing was I got the new carbs tuned and engine workin good on e85. For the next race I will build more front weight ballast to calm down the wheelies and overhaul the fuel pressure regulator. Not too bad, I didn't break anything.

Morse cable here as well, loops from front to back. As said above this forces your carb backwards. I have twin carb side saddle setup on my blower, and the linkage/cable combo was pretty challenging to get working properly.

Not too much to do, just waiting for the summer but as it's still snowing theres plenty of time for polishing.

Interesting topic, lets hope someone who has the knowledge jumps in with facts. I always thought this is only a matter of final starting line ratio and one can compensate.

I ordered new custom made e85 carbs last september. This hobby teaches patience, they arrived yesterday. Always start every easy direct bolt on swap with flycutter, grinder and possibly a big hammer. They never fit. I'm also using different scoop this season. I made new fuel lines too as a safety caution, I was not sure if the old hose was suitable for e85.
Small development on other parts too. Made new breather tank, and added volume to coolant expansion. Let the summer come.
