Aha!! That's why guys are always on about the mains. I was wondering because with the RS carbs they don't make so much difference until you hammer it. Well at least that's how it seems to me.

the radial slides and GS vacuum carbs have zero in common as far as tuning.
the vacuum carbs need a st. 3 jet kit to get 100% correct....period...on the 4 cyl. anyways.
like comparing apples to watermelons.

You still need to get the mains right upfront. If you are too lean at WoT, it will burn up your valves pretty quick. That's why there is so much concern about main jets and pods. Doing the pilot wrong makes for crappy idling. Getting the bigger circuits wrong will destroy expensive things.
