Hi guys. Thanks for the tips! Started it up after setting the idle gap and made adjustments in smaller increments (1/16 at a time), much better now. With the OS carbs I was so used to just making a quick 1/8 turn to adjust the low. It seems on this carb 1/8 or about 3/16ths is about the range between too rich to idle consistently and almost too lean on the bottom.
Much better now.

Now my question.... with this in mind, lets say I come off the track and I feel the top could use a little leaning for some more top speed, I would typically lean the top about 1/16th or 1/8th if it really felt rich. I assume that would throw off the low end as it is so sensitive on this carb. Would I richen the low end about the same amount to maintain the balance or just the top?

I'm sure there will be some trial and error but with the OS carb I would just lean the top a little and the bottom wouldn't be very effected.
