Scott,
Not wiser at this end, only ahead of you on this issue...
A friend rode in my 76B with air pump and ZS carb...he said it felt like
a middle of the road (size!) motorcycle.
I removed the air pump, replaced the ZS with HIF's. I felt the car was
more responsive. He said it felt like a car, almost zippy.
My engine is stock. My car is street.
Take it off. Take it all off.
