If, it's gargling, then the needle seetings are too rich. Try the "pinch test" on the fuel line going into the carb. Run the engine for a minute then pinch the fuel line near the carb inlet. The engine should stop within 3 to 5 seconds for a good low end needle setting (stops too early - too lean / stops too late - too rich). The high end needle setting should have the engine reving high with a clean sharp increase in tone / note without hesitation or sounding like its struggling (a good running temp is usually between 220 and 280 degrees - depending on the engine).
Jeff / Kewdawg...

Seems like you guys have hit the nail on the head....looks like have to check the spring and also lean/richen the low end bit by bit. The top end is tuned i am sure of that, just the low end or middle...

any link websites on this would help.....
