DT1 Needs help. was created by pabdt

The bike is WEAK on low end and top end power.  Haven't figured it out yet.   Compression is 130+ though.

Any ideas out there, would love to hear them.   I have: 
adj spark 2.5 to 3.2., curr aligned to stator tab/flwheel. 
2 carbs tested.  Both same result. 
several plugs tested. 
leak tested at 1psi in about 5 min; so, there is a leak somewhere, none visible I could find. 
spark plug/ignition at least appears in good shape.
points 0.013"
condenser 0.22uF
new coil, emgo. 
head torqued 25ftlb
new crank seal, mag side (didn't make lot difference) changed, clutch side no leaks.  doesn't "smoke" heavily
needle and jet changed getting rid of blubbering at low throttle.  OEM mikuni parts, same numbers.  O-2 and 5D1
sprayed around engine w/carb cleaner while running, no response.
rehoned cy linder, add rings.  compression 130+


I am welcome to all ideas before I pull this engine apart. Thank you. (before I forget will a 75 or 6 DT400 fit the mounts on DT1?)
