Hey thanks guys, this covers all I needed to confirm that the Boyer & possibly a hotter coil will help. Will try to rebuild the carb this weekend, order the Boyer & look into a coil. Thanks.

nd make sure that when you kick it you go all the way through to the black spot on the end of the gears otherwise wear a oxegen mask for the altitude

Without a doubt.

The last-day I commuted on my 441 I kinda half-kicked it and it kicked back so hard I thought it broke my ankle! my boss walked outside to find me writhing on the ground in pain next to the bike and he just laughed "it got you didn't it?". I started riding a 500 twin Triumph the next day (I could start it with my hand if I had to).

I've had this bike for many years & it's always been easy to start as long as I follow the routine, cross my toes & keep up on the Sacrificing to the Gods. I just want the ease of maintanance the EI will give. I talked to Stephan from Tri-Spark & they don't make a "Single specific" unit but people are using the twin unit. Is there anything bad about having the second firing from the twin fire on the exhaust stroke??
