Compression 140-160 1971

Just raise the needles one or two stops richer, it should make a noticeable change, hopefully for the better. You need to disconnect the throttle linkages, or set the throttles all the way closed, otherwise you won't be able to lift the needles out (no obstruction above them) they should lift out with no resistance whatsoever. They bend very easily... circlips are easy to lose, as are the little plastic washers under the circlips.
