You would have to bin your slides and get some new ones :grin:

Drilling the slides won't affect power in any rev range, or give you more power. The size of the hole simply determines how fast the slides move as they don't operate off the throttle cable, but off a vacuum. Drill the hole too big (or more holes) and they will barely move - Do as Ibby said and stick with 2.5 mm as HRC intended and you'll have slightly better throttle response than standard.

NC30s are notoriously temperamental to carb and induction changes (airbox/filter) and even relatively small changes can cause your bike to protest in anger. Everything worth knowing about NC30 carb mods that work is on here if you have a search.

The pilot screw settings are responsible for the power just off idle.

What are yours set to?? Standard setting is 2 turns out.

Try 2 1/4 turns out and see how you go.

Going over will make it run rich.

Tune the pilots and float heights to get the best off idle start.

Turnt he pilot screws out 1/4 of a turn at a time until the revs stop rising then back them all in 1/8th of a turn.

Theres a classic 'lean' hole in the mid-range, stick a 0.5mm shim underneath the needles to richen up the mid-range.

Just found that the 2 front carbs have the 5 hole emulsion tubes and the rears have the 4 hole which is the opposite to this guide!!

What negative effects will this have?
