Thanks, will give a try. It transitions very well now with no burbling any more hardly at all. Just didn't want to mess with the needles unless I really needed to. This is my first gasser and I've found the needles are sensitive as people have told me. I can hear a noticeable difference when adjusting the high end by just a 1/16" or barely the width of the screwdriver blade.

The choke plate solder option makes me nervous should it come loose eventually and go into the engine. Should I scuff up the area and use flux? A mini torch would work best, but I think a soldering iron would be safest.
