Interesting. I looked up the needles mentioned. M is the leanest, then the  
ADQ, then the AH2, then the CR, and the 6 is the richest. Sounds like that may  
be a good start for a kit. Anybody running another British needle that seems 
to  work for you?

I started measuring the needles I had from the PO and w/o markings,  had a
difficult time finding what needles I did have.  They were  similar to M, but
not quite.
It ran well with the stock aircleaner  andfelt punchy at all rpms.  But when
i when to K&N's with stub  stack, I was getting no throttle response at 4k+.
and some occasional  backfiring.
I started swapping needles from a set I picked up.  I went  to AH2 which
still didn't feel right.
Then I tried CR which felt good up  to 5500.  I left these in for a few
weeks, but then the hesitation was  coming back when I lightly incresed the
throttle. Pull the choke and the  power comes back.  So I swapped it out with
the next one I had ( I  think it's 6) and It's running fine.  I need to get
an oxygen sensor  installed to be sure.  Since it started to lean out without
modifying  anything, I'm going to have to check the floats.
