   Actually, I dont think its as much the shape of the cone, but where the 
   flap sits within the cone. On the CIS-E (4000q) the flap sits at the top 
   of the cylinder part at the bottom of the cone. Where the KL it sits at 
   the bottom.

The shape of the cone is very important -- it determines your fuel mixture.
The rest of the distributor is just there to implement what the [shpae of
the] cone says to do . . . I think (but am not sure) that it also affects
the momentary enrichment from opening the throttle plate, but that is
mostly mechanical inertia of the whole metering plate mechanism.
