So delorto evidently used the save carb for different apps, excusing the needle and jetting. That's interesting. Using the same CFM Venturi carburation for the wide of a genre cc engines. I can't see it but it must have worked...

When I bought the Mille, it was jetted for the USA. Very soon after buying it, I bought a European
jetting kit for both carbs. Also put competition pipes on it at the same time. Turned it into a real
screamer.

I thought of looking up performance stuff for my v11, but I figure it's good enough the way it is. Still comptimplating an MV though...

The pipes, jetting and K&N air filters made a hell of a difference in the way mine ran.

Not really a motorcycle but the same sort of thing happened when I
rebuilt the "Vega" motor in my 75 Monza.
I got a distributor kit and another cam gear that changed the ignition
curve and cam timing, along with a little more compression, a little
overbore and a different carb made that a pretty fast Monza.
I am sure it would not have passed an emission inspection tho ;-)

Luckily, motorcycles don't have to pass emission inspections. I've not been stopped for noise,
although competition pipes are not street legal. They're not as loud as many of the Harleys running
around.
