Check for air leaks as well. It is not that easy to identify but spraying some carb cleaner around the cab mount and brake vacuum connection might show a leak if the idle changes. I had a slight hessitation between light throttle and then accelerating which dissapeared after I remounted the carbs us...

Dunlop brakes on an S1, when everything is in good condition, work superbly and probably better than most cars of the time.
