The Honda CVCC was what is known as a stratified charge engine. It basically had 2 intake tracts: a lean one and a rich one. The rich one fed a pre-chamber which started combustion in the larger chamber that ran a lean mixture. You probably cut off the pre-chamber valve which is why it ran a little better on gas.
