Having seen my first NT carb up close and personal it doesn't appear to be a bad carburetor providing it's used within its capabilities.
Right off the bat I pulled apart the air cleaner/filter assembly to find a host of turbulent air flow obstructions that are easily corrected.
The stock air filter itself can flow an abundance of air but doesn't appear to provide a very good job of filtering out smaller particles..just hold the filter up to a light and you'll see what I mean....From a performance stand point this filter is more than adequate to supply air to the motor.
One can simply suggest that you just go out and buy one of those high performance air filters which is fine or ,you can do these simple but effective mods to get more out of this 14mm carburetor.
If you have a stock motor or even a mildly modded motor and looking for a little bit more, this carburetor appears to be more than capable of accommodating that.
So here is what I've found.
(Obstruction #1)
The stock plastic seal has a number of turbulent air flow obstructions as you can see in the picture...just simply cut out the center, being careful not to accidently cut out the holes needed to re~attach the ring.
This is what the ring should look like when cut properly.
