thats why i run those cones --- a little back pressure goes a LONG way
ok its a 74" mufflers 66 main jet no baffles 68 and a 31 idle -- was it doing the back to idle slow b4?
-- http://www.sscycle.com/carbquickguide/ -- cables can be gummy - check that idle tube since you removed the baffles the idle and low speed is now lean.. -- mine did this and i adjusted the acc screw on the right -- it was getting to much fuel... i have seen people put a 72 main jet in a stock 74 and then try to lean it out with the idle tube.. --- take the cables off the carb and run it without them let it warm up and rev the engine by hand (sitting still) i would still make any jet corrections first .. cold the A/F screw should be 1 3/4 turns --

Try cutting down the baffles instead of completely removing them. My 83 shovel with a brand new super e, comes back to idle slower than my 84 evo. it has electronic ignition...never understood why, but it gives it part of it's unique sound. If it is not really slow to come back, it is not a problem.
