There is a passage in the slide in the carb that allows vacume to get above the diaphram slide. The older bikes had a smaller passage so it took slightly longer to get the vacume up there to lift the slide. Drilling fixes that and on later bikes it already is the larger size. You can cut the springs for faster response too but thats not for a novice.

I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.
