MY first truck,bought off e-bay,ran sweet,NO issues,thru 4 tanks...,now it seems I have to progressivly richen both needles a tick every other tank to maintain the "sweet spot",I'm now up to 3 1/2 on both needles,and just did my first adj. on the idle screw,when doing adj. I insure tank is full to prevent the "half tank lean" scenario from throwin me off,also,before the engine is primed for initial start-up, the OWB on the pull start slips,but after priming, no problemo.....could an air leak from this area cause these issues........or is it just the atmospheric blues.........

Air leak all the way bud. seal 'er up, or get a new motor

but the OWB slipping is just normal wear
