Default walbra carb rebuild

I recently rebuilt the carb on my g62. It runs much better but I am now getting a surge mid range (couple hundred RPM's). I turned the low needle 1/4 turn both directions with no change then the rains came. I am thinking I need to lean out the low end. For all you experts does it sound like I am correct?

keep leaning the low until the burgle is gone or very close to being out. you will only have to turn the screw in to keep leaning it. take you time and lean it slow, meaning shut the motor down lean it a 1/16 to 1/8 of a inch, restart it and see what has happened.

Did you mean inch or turn?

Most people turn the needle too far each time and they get lost

from my experience you cant always get rid of 100% percent of the burble... there is usually a point in the lower rpm band where it exists. you'll know if you went to lean if it hesitates or dies when you gun it from a low idle

A surge can be caused buy a air leak anywhere in the intake or carb gaskets. Capt,n

Pretty sure there's no leak. It's rained solid for the last two days. Hopefully tomorrow I can get it dialed in.
