heh i overhauled despite not having white/black smoke issue or abnormal engine oil reduction (after using liqui moly/done carbon cleaning etc, prior that after 2-3k km i need to top up.)
after overhaul, my fc didnt really improve much, maybe got minor improvement. still a bit too early to tell at this point.
however, i think the result will be as it is, as you know, after overhaul, car rev damn light, and they tightened/realigned the throttle cable, so yeah, performance/pickup is a TON better. and i guess my right foot also increased a few kg's worth of weight
i guess this is human nature >.>
spent so much money, in the end still spending more. lol

I'm writing with the assumption you've done a full overhaul, not a top-overhaul.
The engine needs to be run in a little before you see any significant difference. I presume the mechanic had advised you to hold you foot for the 1st 1000KM or so, and send the car back for an engine oil change after that? If not, please do so. After that, the engine should begin to perform at it's peak. Usually, the mechanic would use cheaper oil for the 1st 1000KM and then switch to semi/fully synthetic. THEN you can see the difference
Until the, just bear with it. If you've done the 1000KM service & adjustments and STILL have bad FC, you might need to consider a carburettor service and some PROPER tuning (AFR, timing, compression, the works).
BTW, I drive an '88 Saga powered by a 1.5 Megavalve
So I feel your pain too bro...
