The nice thing about carb work is that unless you file or drill something, you can return to a starting point. Now that said, you can try almost anything and see what happens. In all my years, I've only seen a few Calif models and by law (EPA) I couldn't change anything. I don't have a manual that covers the emission equipment on those (it was a supplement) , so let's see what happens when you bypass / disconnect, etc. The carbon canister can go first. that one is easy to understand. The jetting is the same (surprise) for all models. Why don't you stop by Kehin's web site and see if you can see what's different between the two carbs. As you progress, we can make adjustments. That model was well known for POOR performance untill fully warmed up. To correct that, we change the slow speed jetting. Get busy and keep notes of all changes. What you did and what happened. Only change one thing at a time. OR, if I remember correctly, you don't recall how it was to start with. ???
