If you have enough, you could try setting your throttle linkage back one notch on the throttle shaft, and reduce the idle with the low idle screw, and/or possibly lengthen the slot on the tv cable. Or fab up a different ratio bellcrank thing. It's been a couple years since I've even seen my 1st gens, so my memory is kinda rusty. I never did solve that issue with my w250, I disconnected mine and pulled as much cable as I could without making it upshift at too high of rpm and strapped it there. Not a recommended fix. A full manual valve body would eliminate the tv cable.

If I set my tv cable tight against the lever, my throttle will not make a full sweep as the tv maxes out.
Trying to get it dialed in.

My adjustment procedure resulted in 1/2 shifts about 15 MPH an 2/3 shift happened at about 25 just puttering around under light throttle so I'm going to back it off a few clicks to get the shift MPH back down. I haven't started turning screws inside the pan yet, need to do more of that before I turn up the smoke any more

The hydraulic oil sure made a difference. That and the tv cable being set up fairly decent. Cruising rpm is way down.
