RE: zdz 80 problem
Try taking the carb apart and cleaning again, maybe something got in there and is plugging an orfice causing it to run lean. If you have the needles opened that much you should flood the engine or at least have the burbling sound. Also check the fuel lines from the carb back to the tank, including inside the tank. What Pitts do you have? What outlets did you remove or how did you remove them?
