Is it tuned correctly? I have the same set up (Dellorto on a 12a sp) and she screams down the line. I think you need to tune the carb better but a Sterling carb will probrably simplify things for you because tunning a Nikki is a peice of cake.

I used to. Was pretty satisfied with it. Despite Sterling's bad advice on how to jet it, I was able to jet it to a good point.
*waits for Sterling's flames*

I think Sterling gives great advice, considering he is the one that made it.

Unless... you're god? NAHHHHH

Just get the Sterling, its as bolt on as bolt on can get. If you want to play with it the options are there, too.
