Maybe I missed it but have you ported both manifolds? This makes such a HUGE difference it's best to do this first before you tune the carb, etc. It's very easy with a Dremel and couple 6 packs of smaller size sanding drums, one of 80 grit the other 120 grit. There is terrible flange mismatch and intake has weld and plating obstructions.

Yep one of the first things I did when prepping the engine for installation. They were so off I estimated the exhaust was blocked by 25% the intake a little less. Did you have time to look at your silencer? Mine is packed with white mterial maybe fiberglass Im not sure. It is awful loud, and I read yours was too. Curious what you did or are going to do.. Love the Sabre, just started using it....

Cool. I stuffed mine with steel wool - it's better. I just need a longer silencer.
