Anybody ever tinker with the CV carb to try and get better performance,,snappier response,,smoother air/fuel delivery.. I was reading people have removed/cut one to one and a half coils off the diaphragm spring that pushes the slide back down,,they say it helps the slide go up quicker,along with drilling the air holes out bigger.Also filing down,deburring,and rolling the edges of the slide then polishing with steel wool.
Lets hear some of your mods and how they worked...
Here is a video I found on CV carb mods,,its for Harley but Im sure this would apply to our carbs as well,,minus the accelerator pump and different jet sizes..
I am going to try these mods on a junk carb I have laying around here..gotta love youtube,,once in a while you find a golden nugget!!

I think I'm gonna try it with my carb . I just need some steel wool . The carb was a lot like mine . My needle isn't adjustable either . Ii hate taking my carb out it is a tight fit . But I'm gonna do it in a few minutes.

I got thinner gauge of spring same length and when I get a new slide I'll round the edges. the orig slide was already pretty rounded. and I think what he did with the needle hole was bore it a # or 2 than the orig hole itself. thus making the needle move easier. I know when I changed the spring I did have way better throttle response.

I didn't get a chance to take my carb off yet , so I'll have to wait a little longer to try.
