Steve ,
Probably a 20TC Scottish Trials or a 20SC Hawkstone Scrambler .
Photos would help but not completely identify .

Steve ,
Greeves frame numbers in the 60/ series don't go that high , is it road or off road ?.

Missed the carb/mainfold question , I believe GS had a slight step , ( smaller inlet than carb ) , originally but would have thought it would not be noticeable unless you are racing it and wanted the last ounce out of it .
I can vaguely remember reading that BSA removed the step and lost a bit of power of the top end - altered the fuel flow turbulence ?.

Hi Goldy,
My 350 runs a 30mm Concentric and has a 230 main jet , other settings similar to yours , I've had a monobloc on it with a 280 jet and ran just as well as the Concentric .
Personally I prefer the Monobloc , I think it is a stronger body and not so prone to distorting like a Concentric .
Also have the GP carbs for both my Gold Stars and find the initial setting up is a pain , so changed to a big Concentric for the 500 and the smaller for the 350 .
Perhaps you could drop down 10 at a time on the main jet and see if it improves .
