Washers could be fitted incorrectly/wrong size??
Should do plenty more than that.
whats the acceleration and tick over like?

My restricted curvy will get near to a ton (on a private runway of course!!) before it maxes out...

There is genuine suzuki carbs slides fitted to it , tick over is perfect but the acceleration is a bit slow well a lot slower than mine matter of fact !

Hmmm thought that might narrow things down but owell.
Dont know much about the curveys but someone will be along soon im sure.

Id get the plugs out and see if the mixture is obviously out.It could be the choke plungers sticking.Does it use a lot of fuel?
