Yep, good little motor. Plenty of bottom end and very smooth.
You may have the long needle version, which would explain why someone has tuned it lean on top. Take a look down the carb throat at wide open throttle and see if the low speed needle is clear of the receiver jet or still in the receiver jet. If it's still in you have the long needle carb that requires a slightly different tuning approach than a regular short needle model.
We can help you with that, no problems.
