Much thinner, so I think I'm getting slightly better compression.
I am finally getting the PE28FL dialed with both new mods: pipe/head gasket. Just got back from test ride after putting the 105 main jet in and she is MUCH peppier. Was accelerating into the wind in 5th gear on a gravel road!!
Why did you go away from the PE28FL? Better luck with Mikuni clone? Prefer that tapered jet?

I like how the PE28 performed. I love the idle mixture screw beight right there.on the side of the carb, but airflow wise, the vm26 30mm and pz30 are still plenty of carburetor for these engines, even fully modded.
Why the vm26? Simply because once it's dialed in, it's good to go. Mikuni jets deliver fuel better due to their tapered nozzle design, so fueling is consistent, which just makes the bike idle and run better. It also means the economy is better. On my previous ebay exhaust, with the 292 cam, and Motocult cylinder and head, my average fuel economy just riding around normally was 65 to 70mpg. That's almost stock fuel economy with the same size sprocketa.
