ANd should I get the 33? 35, or 36? what would u recommend? and what are, if any, the key differences between the aforementioned pumper carb sizes?

No it's not real jolty and most probably not even notice it. I have no experience with the other carbs only the Bill Blue modified Mikuni TM33. IMO if you do the 351 and carb, have it tuned right and raise the gearing, you will have no trouble getting the front wheel up and cruise all day at 65
