Hardly likely that would get a negative end play when doing shimming in step 8.6. More likely for you to get it when you're in step 8.7.
Like I mentioned, when you feel that there's something wrong when you reach to the end of screwing the F14 screw when you put too much shims in step 8.7. You will find that there is a resistance to lock the F14 screw onto the SG shaft of the engine at the end just before tightening it completely. Do not tighten this further when this happens as you'll probably destroy the 2 small normal bearings.

you also mentioned that a poorly tuned engine will not be responsive. well my engine ... when I try to shut it off by blocking the exhaust , takes forever to die. (more than 10 secs)

Try shutting off the engine by stopping the engine flywheel. The other method is to pinch the fuel line supply into the carb to cut off the engine. The latter method would be the best as you could also check if the low end needle is too lean or too rich. When pinching, the engine idle should only go up a little and then die straight away. If it take forever to die, then the low end needle is rich.

I turned 1.5 turns on the low end and 3 on the main needle.

My LHS is also 45 mins away and has a good selection of goods - but when I need something quickly I send off my order to holland

Front Shock Tower Mod
I did it as explained in Mark's FAQ and I like it. I added 2 bushings on the body post to take it back further and it fits perfect . Had to cut the lower pin on the B post and drill a hole.
