Well.... I got the plane out this weekend and looked at the carb to go buy a tube for all of the suggestions above.... but.... no went hole as pictured. I cannot find the vent hole on any of the sides... have not checked the bottom though. I guess I am going to have to work with the mixtures... any suggestions?

Does your carb have the needles at the front, if so the metering hole is usually on one side of the front cover that is held on by four small screws. Remove the cover plate being careful not to damage the diaphram below. Drill a suitable size hole in the center of the plate and silver solder in a short piece of brass tubing or a brass nipple making sure that it is flush with the inner face of the plate.

Use solder or high temp silicone to block the original hole in the plate and reassemble. Connect a length of gas tubing to the new fitting and run it into the fuse via a hole in the front bulkhead and your problems should be over. HTH
