Thanks guys for the great info.

The problem I have is when the low end is tuned right it will not die at idle, even when the butterfly is fully closed. I like the idea of trimming the butterfly though. I will have to run it again to make sure it's rich.

This was a conversion kit I had purchased and it did come with a constricting velocity stack, but I removed it and performance seems better. I have many engines, but I am new to a gas 4 stroke. I'm open to trying different mods because I am doing this just for fun anyway.

Great idea on trying different carbs. Yes it is a pumper and the stumble is when I hold it at about 30% power. I will run it again and tune out the stumble to make sure if I am lean or rich. The needles are about right but I can make a count on the turns as well. Perhaps my 4500 ft elevation has an effect?
Elevation has the effect of richening the mixture, reducing effective compression ratio and reducing effective power.
Prop rpm will be the same, because it operates in thinner air.
