Default different gas and needle settings

I ran one gallon of regular gas at 75:1 then I switched to camper fuel at 63:1 the needles did not need to be changed,I switched again(experimenting different fuels) to what the manual calls for which is 95 octane or higher.I chose 94 at 82:1
When I started the engine the low speed was real rich.I had to lean it and at the same time the high speed was to lean I had to richen that.Does this sound normal or should I be looking at something else.
I'm a gasser newbie
