And it's confirmed! I just installed a set of 40mm chokes and the motor feels like a totally new machine. It was a fairly easy swap except now I know to be very careful when pulling the squirters out not to lose the O rings  The set I got from Vee Dub Parts were beautifully machined pieces, a far cry from the original 37mm cast ones originally in there. They slipped right in, nice 'n shiny.
I just drove a mile home from the shop; not even far enough to warm up the oil but without touching anything else, the idle is smoother, no spitting, sneezing or coughing coming off idle, and a quick blip of the throttle and she just jumped without any hesitation or transitional hiccups. Yey!  I gotta give her a workout tomorrow!
