Default RE: Tower .75 Carb fit--Help

More newbie questions (while my Tower . 75 is still on the test stand, as somewhere in the Czech Republic or China or who knows where someone is putting together my backordered Senior Telemaster ARF.)

I've run about a half gallon of 10% Omega (with a couple extra ounces of castor added) through my .75 and the beast runs beautifully at full throttle. One flip to start and off it goes. I've yet to play too much with the needles. The high speed is set to keep it rich enough to pass the pinch test throughout the use of a tank of fuel. It really does lean out a bit as the tank empties.

As far as the idle, it idles beautifully at what seems to be a fairly low speed. There is a pronounced stumble when going from idle to full throttle. Using a 24oz tank and playing with it the entire 25 or 30 minutes, I was unable to get the engine to stop but just stumble, even after an extended idle. Should I worry about fooling with the idle mixure and low speed needle or just leave well enough alone
? I'm pretty certain it's flyable as it is...
