Overcarburated with 1.5's IMO especially if its stock capacity (1098?) :(

The smaller HS2's would be a better match - better torque characteristics which comes from the smaller venturi (1.25"). Changing the needles in the 1.5's will not solve anything.

I love big jugs too, but there's a time & a place....................... :wink:
