[QUOTE="starbiscuit, post: 551062, member: 18416"] Best power boost I had on my stock SP was to take some of the slack out of the throttle cable, so the plate throttle is fully open when the accelerator is all the way down. Mine had sloppy linkages (see Butty's bits) and a badly adjusted cable, so flat to the floor, the throttle was still half closed. +1 for the vacuum advance as well; the engine will pick up quicker when you floor the throttle under load than with a centrifugal-only advance. Apologies if you've already checked this out, but it's got to be cheaper than a DP or twin carb conversion. HTH [/QUOTE]
