lower # is leaner right?
on my inj (terminator) it's lower# is fatter.
Barry Grant has been known for both slow and inconsistent just like your seeing. If it were my setup I'd do this put the bigger jet in it, you might just be plain lean, putting a bigger jet in it will tell you fast if it slows down more and still has the pop you know its the wrong way if it picks up you went the right way. 160 jet is to low IMO, lower # is leaner just the opposite of the terminator. A good worked over smaller carb such as your 850 can be made to work better then a out of box carb more often then not. Just go up with it .. lean hurts parts !
