      That could be the cause of your problems, float height set wrong.

        +1........even half a millimeter makes a heck of a lot of difference of actual fuel levels. From my own experimenting, 1mm of static float level change equals right close to 3mm of actual fuel level change in bowls.

          don't know don't care

          After fighting with these carbs for an eternity I believe I FINALLY solved the problem......After shuffling multiple carb sets I reached the conclusion that I needed to drop the needle (raise the clip) on the slide needle two positions
          I don't know why this set of carbs required that .....the only thing I can think is that the jbm industries replacement dictated it.....
          As I said don't know don't care.....end of story......I hope

            I didn't know you had adjustable needles, missed that part. For sure that is going to be a key way to tune out your richness.
