After the elation of the dyno run it soon became apparent that even though the Notso was fine on the dyno it wasn't on the road and something was wrong suffering wicked heat soak and what felt like fuel starvation even with a full tank. I did all the usual stuff like cleaning out the tank, I've drilled out the insides of the pattern fuel tap just in case (ported fuel tap

) still no better so the carb was stripped and cleaned and stripped and cleaned and stripped again for good measure with float level reset as high as poss and still no good. In desperation after the last run I sprayed some chain lube around the carb and it cut out instantly, restarted and did it again and stopped again. Removed carb again and checked mounting, can see no way how it could be pulling in air but resealed it anyway and still the same so removed the poxy Dellorto and it's now pride of place in my office as a door stop. Called MrTuning up and ordered one of his OKO carbs, got it on today and jetted it roughly, road test in the morning. Feels a lot more pokey all the way through and wheelies off the throttle in first

One thing I did notice tonight is a degree of clutch slip creeping in which means I may now have found the limit of the 50ccTuning 3 plater at last, must be making a bit more HP and torque. Hopefully this will be an end to the problems now, we'll see. Shame I no longer have the option of tucking the carb inside but the power gain will be worth it and the 24mm flatslide is a thing of beauty for sure.
