Ed,
  I understand your point... but it just sounds like people are calling you (i,e, me) and idiot for not being able to get your tank to the right level.

Anyway....
I have set my HS needle without the pump .. and and am slowly closing the hex on the pump.  as of right now the engine runs but throttle response is awful.  If I throttle back and then throttle up the engine RPM lags very badly and will only shoot up if I momentarily pinch the fuel line   So I assume the pump is pumping way to much.. so the process continues
