RPMs'racing during shifting or throttle release.

Ok here’s one. The bike rides fine but when releasing the throttle to shift, the RPM’s do not reduce for a few moments. I have check to see if the throttle slides was sticking due to air flow, as I have heard , but this is not the case. Here are some details
Pason ignition set a 30 btdc at around 4 g's.
Mikuni TM 34 mm flatslide
This is what has changed. I added a MKiii timing cover. I switched the white/black and the Yellow/black at the terminals of the Pason trigger as instructed. The instruction said that it would be severely retarded the other way so I wanted to make it proper. I had it running well before with the wires swapped but maybe that was a matter or rotor position.

Anyway I do not know if this is an ignition curve issue or a carb issue due to the switch in wb and yb wires, or something else all together.
Nortons, when they're right, they're righteous!
72 Commando Combat Roadster
Frame 149xxx,
Crankcase 210XXX
Gearbox 235xxx
and they all "match" up perfectly.
