As far as your "carb" issue, webers are pretty solid, have you checked the timing? These motors are under constant timing-chain tension, and a lot of the time indications of a "shitty, mis-adjusted carb" are actually symptoms of of a stretched timing chain.
I know somewhere on here there's a tech article on how to adjust for timing chain stretch, just don't know where.
Good luck!
Thanks, I'll check the timing
