I'm thinking shim the needles a bit?

Sorry mate, I missed this. A shim or even a whole step up the needle'd probably fix it (UK svs have slotted needles so you can just move the jesus clip, though that's a big jump), but it could be the mains starving the needle. It's a wee bit far down for that though Try something for me, stick it in 2nd or third, ride along at 5-6000rpm, and bang the throttle right open, see what it does. I think it might have a stumble before it drives, and if it does, that's a nice symptom for undersized mains, since that's where the cross- influence is. It's not foolproof but it's a handy trick.
