I made a post about atkinsoning a bike engine that involved retarding the inlet cam two teeth.
A member tested it and it does not work with carbs.

The target was not to gain power but to trade power for efficiency.

Unfortunately there are no beater that you can get for peanuts in the injected bike world so we still don't know if it is indeed efficient for FE
