If you contact Rodger Sheffield at Formula 6 Association ( Google ) he may be able to help you, or turn up at one of their meetings. We raced in the modified class with 160's using 2 stroke carbs and all sorts of mods. I can't remember how to delimit these but you can rev the nuts off them once done. Ours did once and threw the rod and left a nice slippery racing line for every body!

Yes you can remove the govener, I removed the choke plate and opened up the carb bore (very carefully) as well. Bit of a pig to start but you get more air through, also drilled the main jet to .8mm.
