So after the first shakedown run where she couldn't hold idle once warmed up, decided to swap over to the Keihin CS90C (#1).
Had the total golden touch today. The carb swap went smoothly (nice to have the looped extra length of fuel line) and she started right up and ran with no issues.
Then ran the kill switch between the points wire and the coil and that worked a treat. Ran the black/red wires along ridge behind the air filter and zip tied it into the holes for the stock air box. Used the cloth electrical tape to tidy it up.
New brake cable went in. The nodule was a bit too tall to fit the lever, but shaved it down just a bit and then it went in no problem.
Finally, padded the inside rim of the headlight with more cloth tape to get rid of the rattle.
Four jobs that could have gone either way but all ended up smooth as butter and everything worked! Love days like this...
