It oscillates after clearing it out or just when say idling on the box for a while (basically after no throttle input)?

Other things to check would maybe be your tank and lines for vacuum leaking. You may have another issue making your engine seem like its the culprit. If your orings look good they are most likely just fine (not always the case though lol).

Backplate seal look ok?
I'm still in the process of breaking the engine in, so the top-end is probably still a wee bit rich.

The idle oscillates after clearing it out.

I plan on checking everything on Saturday - I'll probably just reset the needles to flush, and re-tune the engine. But I'll take a peek at the o-rings, and make sure there are no obvious leaks.

It was fine before the dust got in it....dang it.
