Carb has been rebuilt.
Intake seals, sealed.
Points are new and set properly.
Advance weights and springs, new.
Original Carb, original distributor, original intake.
Any ideas or thoughts?
I'm thinking the advance weight posts are wore out letting the weights flutter.

that carb has an adjustable main and low speed adjustments not replaceable jets like most
the top screw that faces the right handle bar end is low speed - if it idles just fine leave it alone if you do adjust it remember what you did so you can put it back
on the bowl the little rod that is bent 90* at the end is high speed only adjust it 1/8 of a turn at a time counterclockwise is richer i think you need to go richer
what happens is the low and high have a spot that one ends and the other starts soo its a feness thing -- hope that helps i seen question about this and thought i had answered it i guess i dident -- jz

Agree with johnjzjz, It's acting just a little lean. I would play with the low speed adjustment though, ( 2500 rpm - 55 mph ?) but as was said, don't forget where you started.
Good luck.
