If I were you, I would remove this 4:1 balun and solder the coax
direct to the twinlead. I would then use good coax right to the
radio.

The reason is: the impedance at the solder point is not 300 ohms and
with your balun, you're inserting more losses .


True, but without a balun, one is introducing common mode effects.
I, personally, would use a 1:1 choke at the balanced to unbalanced
connection point.
