I agree with everything he said. And I second that opinion.

Mine probably would have begun to run better had I used this approach. I was so interested in fixing it first, that I didn't allow it time to seek its own level. I know the carb was a drastic improvement over the stock one, but running "acceptable" wasn't good enough for me. I wanted perfect. I'm darn close to that right now. Close enough to not have tinkering with that engine on my list of things I have to do.
