Yep...start from scratch and check your tune. Start with a compression check. Bump your timing up to 38 degrees full advance as already mentioned.

Has the carb been tuned in? Those demons don't make the power they should right out of the box...you have to tinker with them. I pulled a demon out of the box and bolted it on....noticed a hesitation and tuned the whole thing in.....I picked up about a half a second!
