        I don't know. I don't have anything to test it with and the motor is out of the bike right now.

        It was running decent before I started this process.

                    Sorry to add this but you should measure the shims with a decent set of calipers, they're not always what they say they are.

                        I won't know until I get the motor back in the bike. I can't imagine that it wouldn't though. By the time I run the motor again it will have a lot of new parts and clean carbs.

                        It should look a lot better too.

                            I think that may have been the case with the 2.90 that I started with. I'm pretty confident in the rest of the shims seeing as they came from the shim club. Ray seems to be pretty meticulous about the sizes.

                            That said, to measure is to know right?
